Then I'm sure you won't mind me recommending Scott Kelby's book The Mac 
OS X Conversion Kit, written especially for people making the move up 
from OS 9. Best $30 you'll spend.

Also, DON'T FREAK OUT the first time something not quite what you 
expected happens. It'll be fine. We're here for you. :)

Finally, I might suggest this: BEFORE loading Jag, set your OS 9 
extensions to "base" ie minimal extensions. Once Jag is loaded, Repair 
Permissions BEFORE attempting to run Classic the first time. Restart 
the machine and let Classic load automatically (this is a preference 
you set in the "Classic" system pref panel).

I suspect you'll have a great experience, and believe me you'll get 
used to the NO CRASHING thing *real* fast.
