[QUOTE="lokerd, post: 10144"] Hello. Thanks for the reply. We got 5 new eMac computers. I have them currently booting in OS9, but they do not behave correctly, I think due to the fact that OS10 is expected. Some of the software will not run, such as MS Office documents. When we click on a file...it tries launching Office X, even though Office 2001 is on the computer. Se we have to open Office 2001 first, then try to open the file. I also want the students to be able to use some of the 10 specific media applications. While I could leave the OS10 computers as OS10 stations, and leave the rest as OS 9, then it would be frustrating trying to teach to two different systems. Actually, I guess the main reason is that I had a collegue tell me we needed to put all the machines at OS10, and then a local Apple Dealer tell me that the iMacs would run OS 10 just fine with 160mb of ram.
