I thought Mac OS 9 was on the endangered species list. I thought no new Macs (except eMacs) would boot into OS 9, but would run the Classic environment. Is Apple giving OS 9 a stay of execution by offering G4 Towers that boot into 9 ? Does Apple think that OS X adoption has reached the point of no return and by allowing users to boot into OS 9 the threat to OS X is gone? A G4 Tower must run OS 9 apps like a bat! Now if Apple's whole product line (read PowerBooks) allowed booting into OS 9... Sean
