I haven't seen that many OS9 boxes around lately, except for my old
iMac (I need it, I haven't finished The Journeyman Project yet).
Anyroad, if issues of workload are to be borne in mind regarding
unsupported OSs the we should also ditch Windows 98. Although I
wouldn't agree with it on the grounds that there are tonnes of these
around (I even saw 3.1 'For Workgoups' on every machine in a
government department not two years ago, pretty nippy on them
Pentiums I must say!).
Cheers,
Luis.

With v2.9, v3.0, v4.0 and beyond, any version that includes
Classic support will be short-lived, so the practice of using two
versions of Rev will become the norm anyway not long after they
release a new Classic engine.
I didn't really get into the Mac side of the world until a few
years ago as my career has me on Intel MS based machines since the
1980's and that's pretty much where I "lived". However I was given
a Wallstreet G3 a few years back from a Mac loving friend and
discovered how delightful the Mac is. My main machines are still
Windows boxes (my old DOS boxes are long gone and I have one old
Pentium II clunker running Ubuntu) and a Mac Mini. However - I can
run Panther on the G3 Wallstreet. A little shareware tool called
AlPosto Facto (or some similar silly name) allows one to install
it. With OS9 running you install this tool and then boot into a
Jaguar install CD, install Jaguar and then install Panther over the
top. So my little G3 runs Panther happily. I admit I don't use it
all the time but it is quite responsive and great for doing simple
stuff on (like testing) even though I generally tend to use my Mac
Mini. My point is maybe this is an option OS9 based schools could
consider?
