We should note here: Apple will not "kill" Classic. It's going to be around for as long as it can run. It won't get updated -- there will be no OS 9.4 to run in classic -- but it will still be there for as long as the hardware can support it. Which will probably be a long time.

To illustrate, I observe that my current Mac -- which was built
something like eight years after Apple went to the PowerPC
architecture -- still runs 680X0 code, including Word 5.1 and
some even more ancient software. (I have one thing written in
*1986* which still runs. With some quirks -- screen redraws
are funny, since it still uses an 8-color screen model --
but it runs.)

And I work on MORE, last updated in 1991, every day in OS 9.1/9.2.2.
