I'm with you on this one, Clyde. I've been putting off installing 10.2 because I didn't want to learn a new system. But then I got a work computer that has 10 on it, and it's been an easier transition than I thought. Most things work very much like OS 9. And X leads you through configurations like adding printers. I'm now ready to install it on my home computer!

This is a baffling post and I will assume its not a gratuitous flame. OSX is a little different--but if you want OS9 all you have to do is use OS9 in classic mode. I use classic mode ALL THE TIME. My secretary and I both prefer classic mode to OS9 because of its wonderful stability, and it is not that much slower (except on one or two exotic type things). I think it helps to have classic load automatically on startup and stay on all the time.
Classic then allows you to use your old mail software or anything else in OS9.
My daughter put OSX on my Lombard and it surprised me by working just fine. She has a 20gig drive and 320M Ram.
Read the help file on how to start up without the password.
I cannot imagine that anyone would not prefer Safari to MSExplorer. Explorer has an ebay thing that is nice--but ebay gives you the same thing on your ebay account. The scrapbook is nice--but not that nice. Go ahead and use Explorer if you like.
