The Intech people specifically tell you not to do it, unless you use extra software that costs extra money. Maybe OS 9 works regardless, but they are the ones who say it doesn't... so I'll take it up with them... ;-) And I do agree with you, Classic works for some programs, but not for others. Games for some reason tend to go very, very wrong. And I do love the speed of OS 9.2.2 --even on poky hardware. It should fly on a 1Ghz TiBook. I sometimes work for a week or so using only 9.2.2, and other than Internet heavy use there's nothing one can't do. I love the new Classilla browser. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
