Of course they can upgrade - to OSX. OS9 itself is, if not officially
obsolete, shall we say deprecated? Macs haven't been made to boot into
9 for some time now. OSX *will* run on most Macs (albeit slowly) unless
they're *really* old and underpowered...
Reality check: it's 2001. The world moves on, and I think that
delivering a typographically styled but layout deficient version of a
site (with a polite explanation of why the presentation is limited) to
users of obsolete browsers is far better than giving them a site that's
broken, especially if it's preventing usability. It can only help to
weed these browseers out of the scene, eventually - and then we won't
have to worry about them at all!
