However, if they can make Windows boot on recent macs, why not create a virtual environment for OS 9 to boot? For that matter if you want to tie this in to time past, you can find Apple ][ emulators that run on present macs. So tell me, why has OS 9 on some kind of hit list? You would think someone could come up with a way around the blocks that Apple is trying to throw up. jg
