Hello OS9 Diehards, I am in the throes of switching and have just sold my "Sawtooth" (but I still have my MDD 2003 in case of panic). For private stuff, I have been using OS X for a couple of years but for work, I couldn't tear myself away from OS 9. I have spent years putting together a working environment that was exactly suited to my need (translations) with the sawtooth and two monitors (Word on one and dictionaries on the other). A couple of weeks ago, I finally force myself to make the move and it has been rough. My productivity is down and I am fighting with multiple problems which I am trying to solve one by one. That I won't give up my Apple extended keyboard and some dictionaries that I don't want to abandon require classic (iMate won't switch between OS's), doesn't simplify the problem. And it doesn't help that I also threw out my old Apple B/W portrait monitor and replaced it with a LCD in pivot mode so that I can display two dictionaries at once. If worst comes to worst, I can always switch back to OS 9 on the MDD that boots into OS 9 and I am back on familiar ground (but then I would have to figure out how to get the pivoted monitor to display my dictionaries). That's life, as they say.
Good luck to other switchers.
