I have been following about this and wonder if some of this is true for B&W G3 too. I am in the process of replacing my 6 GB HD with a 60. I'm using 9.2.2 but want to install both 9 & 10 so I can try out 10 and still have 9 for a lot of apps I have. Plan to partition the HD. Do I need to install 9 & 10 on the same partition?
Also - re: the classic mode. I have disks to install 9 & 10. But I understand 10.2 is much better than 10 - can you upgrade to 10.2 and still run in classic mode?
