Well, it's not so much the files running in OS X as it is the OS X apps that you have to acquire to open those old files within, i.e.: Quicken for OS 9 versus Quicken for OS X. When I moved to Quicken for OS X, it had to update my Quicken file, which prevented it from being readable by the older version. This also happened when moving from Quicken 98 to 2000, even still within OS 9. So , if by "bank account" you mean a Quicken file, you will be able to open them, whether you're running an OS X version of Quicken or an older version of Quicken in OS X's "Classic" mode. If you mean online banking, IE and Netscape for OS X are 128 bit compatible. BTW, my pick for an OS X browser is called "Chimera". I find it to bee the fastest of any OS X browsers (of which there are nearly a dozen of). It's a pre version 1 release at this time, but very stable and quit feature rich, although, it's shy on handling every media plug-in out there at this time. I use it and have Internet Explorer handy as a back-pocket thing. I rarely need it. > I have discovered that OS X has an item called desk > top which is what is on my desk top when I'm using OS 9.2.2. Yes, the OS X installer provides access to your OS 9 Desktop i (n order to grab stuff off it. As time goes by and you use OS 9 less, this will become less valuable... But it's nice that it's there :) > I have moved that to the dock. Good man! Smart move. Personally, I also have my hard drove icon, my OS X Applications folder, my OS X Documents folder in the Dock, too. As a result, I have turned off showing the hard drive icons on the Desktop. It's more flexible getting at them from the Dock, as the Dock is available from ANY application. > I can open every thing want with the exception of Access Manager which needed > to let me access the internet with Sympatico High Speed Edition.

I'm on Rogers Cable, myself, but I don't think that OS X even needs Access Manager. There are others on this list that can better help you, I'm sure.
