Re: Intel Mac & PPC apps
Hi Tina, FYI, the earlier Intel Macs used a different version of Tiger than did the PPC Macs. I do not believe that Intel Macs are able to run OS9. -Original Message- From: Tina K.

I'm pretty sure that Classic support was dropped with 10.5 Leopard so if you can't live without it you would need to get an Intel Mac that originally shipped with 10.4 Tiger. Assuming that those Intel machines were able to run Classic that is.

Re: Intel Mac & PPC apps
This has been part of the genius of Apple. 68K under PPC; Classic under OS X. Sad to see this all go. I'm not too cheap to buy a new machine. Have way more invested in older ones and multiple external boot drives, which provide redundancy and a lot more functionality. Always amazes me with "typical" consumer that has one PC and only one hard-drive partition. In a pinch, I've gone back to a Powerbook 180 and was able to do word processing well Someone who went Rip Van Winkle after the Mac Quadra or LCII and woke up today to the latest Mac would understand it all. That's its appeal to many of us.

Re: Intel Mac & PPC apps
Hy! Support for the Blue Box environment (alas, classic mode in OS X) was abandoned on Intel versions of OS X. Rosetta (along with Apple Java) will face the same fate in Lion. What about having the old Mac Mini and the new one at the same time?
