Hurrah!

> First, I still need to boot (often?) into 9.

No, Classic will handle this fine. Just set your Classic preference so 
that it automatically loads every time you boot up the computer (this 
will of course lengthen the amount of time it takes to boot up, but not 
by that much -- say a minute or two).

Second, it's WAY past time you updated your browser. I would suggest 
either Mozilla 1.4.x or Netscape 7.2, both of which should allow you to 
import your mail.

First of all, IE has no mail function, so that will never work in a 
million years.

Second, IE sux. If Mozilla or Netscape can't serve your needs, I'd 
suggest using Safari and Mail, which can.

Oh dear. Yes, you need to go back to your installer discs and install 
JUST the "extra" apps (iMovie, iTunes) for Jaguar (or, if you have a 
fast internet connection, you can just download iTunes/iMovie/iPhoto 
from Apple via Software Update or the web site). They are different 
versions (quite different!) than the OS 9 ones.

No. And don't worry about disk space. The whole of OS 9 (including all 
your apps) should be taking up maybe 3 gig. That should be less than 
10% of your hard drive.

 From Palm, quite naturally:

No, your paid copy of 5 will stay intact. But your X copy of 6 will not 
be Pro.
