That kind of "things" do you have? Just documents? Text? Pictures? If it's just documents, you could either get a copy of the same program you used on the Mac on the PC (I think there's still AppleWorks for the PC, isn't there?) Or export your documents as "rich text" or some other generic format, onto PC formatted floppy disks, and copy them onto your PC. MS Word or Works or whatever you have on there should be able to open them. > Is there anyway to make this Windoze machine (presently running XP) run Mac > OS, especially OS 9.2? No, the Mac OS only runs on Mac (and Mac clone) computers. You could download an Emulator program for your PC that simulates a Mac computer, but I think that the best Mac emulator only supports up to OS 8.1 (As it simulates a 68K (non PowerPC) Mac.) Also, the "computer within a computer" situation that Emulators create tends to be slow, buggy, and often incompatible. Are you not allowed to keep your PC AND Mac in the classroom? I would think that giving giving your students access to both platforms could only benefit them in the future. (Although comparing a 250 Mhz Mac to a 2500 Mhz PC might unfairly slant their opinion of Macs.) -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
