<begin rant> Jaguar is a worthwile upgrade, there are those who would argue and prefer OS9, but that system does nothing for me anymore but incite rage at it's ineptness (is that even a word?). I loved OS9, but once I got my hands on an OS that can do what OSX does, I can't stand it anymore. It annoys me to have to wait for each app to open, in OSX I just click 5-6 of them and let them go, when one loads, I'll use it and let the others do there thing. I hate it when one app gets busy, and I can't go do something else (IE rendering a page with a table or Java for example). In OSX, I just flip to another app. I hate one app causing a full system reboot. I like being able to say, "Ohh Safari (or whatever) crashed, I think I'll change the song I'm listening to in iTunes while I wait for that app to come back up." <rant end> The biggest thing is to make sure that the apps you are going to use/want are on OSX. I'd say that if there are only a few apps that you would have to use under Classic, and if they only get used occasionally, then make the move. No, you do not HAVE to have 2 partitions. It's just recommended to that if something flubbs up, you can reboot back into an untouched OS9. This apply mostly to the older machines that can't boot OSX natively. On an unsupported machine, you will need to always have an OS9 install somewhere though, be it on it's own partition or with the OSX one. Supported machines can go straight OSX only. Don't bother with 10.0/10.1x, go straight to Jaguar, Apple made big changes underneath OSX with the Jaguar release, it is much much faster and has all the new apps coming out for it. Jaguar is OSX version 1.0, 10.0 was what the beta should have been ;) Safari is Jaguar ONLY. 10.1.5 and lower cannot use it, but read paragraph above for why I think this is a moot point.
