He was probably hoping to do it for free. If you're going to shell out for
an upgrade (and it really is time to upgrade if you're using 8.1), you might
as well go all the way to OS 9.1 for an extra $10 or so. Or, if the computer
is a G3, go all the way to OS 10.1 even if you're not planning on using it
yet. It includes an OS 9.2 CD you can use now.
