OUCH!!!  That seems steep!  Wasn't OtherWorld selling OS 9.1 CDs for about
that a week or two ago?  I guess there must be a rather low supply relative
to the demand.  For crying out loud, you can get OEM 10.1.x+9.2 installers
for only about $25 more (and no, I don't remember where I saw that, but I
think that was also OWC).
