No. OS X is as different from OS 9 as cash and credit cards are different
from each other. OS X is not just a "new style" of OS 9 currency; it's a
*completely* different architecture. OS 9 is obsolete and no longer
supported by Apple; it's no longer legal tender.

You can argue that it "should" be -- and I'm not disagreeing with you
whether it should or shouldn't be! -- but the fact remains that it is not.
When you choose to use it, you do so at your own risk.

We can rant that providers shouldn't be gradually phasing out OS 9 users,
hard as that is to justify when Apple itself no longer even supports it --
but all of the ranting does nothing to help the original poster with her
intermittent problem.
