I also ride a bike, and I'd like to know how to stop running into 
accidents? I've been down twice already. :-/

I have no first hand experience with any of the polishing products, but 
I do think that none of them would work well on a case that has been 
badly scratched. I do have a Cube enclosure that is not scratched, but 
has a small chip on the back, and small cracks near the top screws (it 
seems a large percentage of Cubes have these), contact me by mail if 
you are interested. You might also get a third-party case from 
Powerlogix...

I think you can just copy the OS 9 system folder and then start Startup 
Disk from OS X which should discover OS 9 system folder. If you have 
two partitions, you might put OS 9 into second one, and boot from there 
or choose uopn startup by holding the 'Option' key.
