This summers new G4s can boot into OS 9. So can the "mirrored drive door"
model from last winter, tooted to not boot into OS 9, if you use the iMac
install CD.

And this is good, as that means I can get a new G5 and run my old Audio
apps, perhaps even in realtime (but offline is ok, that will not be
developed ever for OS X. That is what I feel inclined to call "kewl".

Why isn't there a "stop classic" command in that menu? Anyone know of a
setting, script or app to automatically quit Classic when the last
classic application quits? Maybe Panther will do that for us?
