For me that would be the one reason to get another PPC system.  I 
really wish that the PPC Mac Mini's could boot directly into Mac OS 9.

As it stands, when it comes time for me to move from my G5 2x2 to a 
nice Intel based system, the odds are I'll have to either keep the G5 
around or more likely get my old G4/450 AGP back up running Mac OS 9. 
Still I keep hoping for a good emulation solution that allows you to 
run classic apps on Intel based Mac's.

I'm only still attached to one Classic App, and that is ClarisDraw. 
I have yet to find what I consider an acceptable replacement for 
ClarisDraw.  It is simple and easy to use, it does what I want, and I 
know how to make it do what I want.  At least I've managed to break 
myself of using Adobe PageMill 3.0, though I still prefer it to Adobe 
GoLive CS.
