Point #1: backing up OS X (the OS) isn't really worth it. You're better off backing up your Users folder, keeping back-up copies of all the application installers & just re-installing OS X if you ever need to (though, I've not had to re-install the OS since I upgraded to 10.1 in Oct. 2001). #2: Not sure about "down load to print a page". You do everything that you want to in OS X in the same manner as you do in OS 9. Save a document in OS X. Print it in OS 9 when the time comes. Also, *all* OS X Carbon and Cocoa apps can "print" to .PDF and .PS (not .PSD) so it is possible to output *anything* from your computer. Classic apps cannot take advantage of the PDF print option (without Adobe's PDF Chooser device) so you'll have to be in OS 9 and print to your printer directly.
