I agree that this was the worst thing to do.
In fact I don't like to use 9 with X myself and I know about these 
things. If a machine is using X it doesn't open Classic ever. I have 17 
computers in my shop so I can afford to do this and use 9 on others if 
need be.

But the worst is like you said, having newbies and newbies to Mac as 
this guy was, see this stuff together even though he claims it was not 
moved.
