But as for getting going with Mac, I believe all Mac versions are included in the Mac license, which would mean both OS X and the older Classic. I can't imagine RunRev would charge separately for the defunct OS 9.

I was going to let this remark pass, but we have a mixed bag of readers on the list and it comes as a bit of surprise to hear it from you, Richard. OS9 may be defunct but last January Steve Jobs stated that OSX accounts for only (well, he said already) 40% of Mac users. For marketting, the technical proveness of a system is less relevant than the size of that market segment and it seems that majority of Mac users are still with the older platform. That is quite a few people. May be your products are addressed to the upper group which switched, but this is not true in general. W98 has been defunct even longer and it is still fully supported by most software vendors (granted, it is somewhat easier than in case of OS9/OSX).
I'm just preaching the Steve gospel. A majority of Mac sales across all products I manage are still for Classic. Maybe I should have used "retired" rather than "defunct". Beyond that, please don't shoot the messenger: it's Apple pushing to get rid of Classic, not me. I rather like OS 9.
