According to what mis-informed source?  I ran a Lombard on Panther for 
several years without any problem.  With a trick or two you can load 
Tiger on it and AFAIK it should run even better.

Classic by the way is OS 9 running UNDER OS X (as a process within X). 
OS 9 is the proper term for running booting and running OS 9 by itself.


If this laptop is to be used on the Internet you should definitely put X 
on it.  Explorer and NetScrape barely function on many sites, on some 
not at all.  While under Tiger you can use Safari 4 which is the latest 
version.
