I'd like to be more precise: some of your software may/will  _not_ run on a 
new MacBook(-Pro). On the newer Macs, running the newest Mac OS, there is no 
more "classic", so forget all Mac OS 9 programms (or keep your old PowerBook, 
for that) and not all PowerMac PPC programms will run as expected in 
emulation mode.
