[X4U] Run Classic OS Apps On Intel-Macs!

[Tim Collier]

I actually played around with this SheepShaver application on my Mac  
Pro and I'll be damned it I could get it to work.  If you REALLY need  
to run an OS 9 application just buy a used G3 or G3 iMac (that's what  
I did).  Far fewer headaches.  Sometimes these people come out this  
these "wonderful" programs that claim to do all kinds of wonderful  
things.....and then it turns out it's more trouble than it's worth.   
That is my assessment of SheepShaver.  More trouble than it's worth.
For that matter, if your REALLY still need to run OS 9 applications,  
why would anybody in their right mind buy an Intel Mac KNOWING that  
it won't run it?  It just doesn't make any sense.
