Once I installed OSX on my mac, it took about two days, and I never went back. I *never* boot into OS 9, and rarely even fire up Classic.
What did you do with all of your old applications and cool games you can't use in OSX?,
I just double click on 'em and they run, in Classic.
Classic seems to help but is not as good as, say, Virtual PC which
emulates Winblows 98 pretty good if you ask me (I use it every day for certain good programs not available in Mac)
No way. There is NO way a functional OS X install should run classic more slowly than VPC. It should run as fast as any other program.
If you're running the same system folder you boot 9.2 out of, this could be your problem. Lots of extensions (particularly processor upgrade-related ones) will mess up Classic. My advice is to install just a base version of OS9 on your OSX disk for use as the Classic system folder.
The biggest problem you've got is that you're running OSX on *way* too small a disk.
You've not mentioned how much memory you've got, either.
OSX really wants 256 megs, 512 megs if you've got it. If you're running with, say 128 megs on that 2GB disk, then yes, OSX will be virtually unusable.
