Saturday night! Football! ...plus, me getting a Lombard ready for a friend who is computer-less right now. I quickly realize that the machine, if it is to play DVD movies, would be best served running Classic(!), as the Lombard's DVD hardware does not work with OSX supposedly...
According to what mis-informed source? I ran a Lombard on Panther for several years without any problem. With a trick or two you can load Tiger on it and AFAIK it should run even better.
Classic by the way is OS 9 running UNDER OS X (as a process within X). OS 9 is the proper term for running booting and running OS 9 by itself.
If this laptop is to be used on the Internet you should definitely put X on it. Explorer and NetScrape barely function on many sites, on some not at all. While under Tiger you can use Safari 4 which is the latest version.
