Deborah,

OK. Well if that's the case (and i know what you 
mean) what is driving you to go to OS X?

If OS 9 works fine, why not stay there and be 
productive. Then when you have saved your 
pennies, you can buy the Mini (with a SuperDrive 
and 10.4 or maybe even 10.5 if it takes a while) 
and put the old machine (keeping the screen, 
keyboard and mouse if you want to / need to) up 
on eBay?
