[QUOTE="lil, post: 154738"] I'm not even sure Mac Minis can boot into OS 9 these days. I have kept my Power Macintosh 7200/90 for this very reason, it boots OS 8.6 which looks the same as OS 9.x btw - and it runs all my classic applications. (Such as Word 5) That said, you might think OS 9 is a good idea, until you're greeted with the Finder Bomb :flower: or bombs of any kind. I'm not aware of anything that adapts OS X to look like OS 8.0+ (which has the same style as OS 9 inherited from Copland...) I know a G4 eMac I used to use at work would boot OS 9, but that was an older 800MHz model. Vicky :flower: [/QUOTE]
