[QUOTE="baggss, post: 435981, member: 6762"] Something to keep in mind. Most, if not all, of the G5s will not boot into OS9 any longer. Some of the very early Model iMacs and PowerMacs may, but that is about it. She's going to have to go to OSX, or buy an older machine. 1) All Macs have come with Built in Modems for some time now. 2) If the program is the OS9 version, you can install OS9 and run it in "Classic Emulation Mode". If you get an Intel Mac, she's out of luck as Classic/OS9 will not run on the Intel boxes. 3) CD/DVD or an external drive. 4) What program is it? More info. 5) If you get an Intel Mac, you can use Bootcamp (free from Apple) but you have to have a full copy of at least XP SP2 to load up on it. Other options have been listed already. 6) If you have Toast for OS9, then it will work in "Classic" mode on a G5 as I described in #2. If you get an Intel Mac, then no you'll have to get a newer version. [/QUOTE]
