Yes, your Classic apps will still run. Most of them. There are a few that won't, but most will. Jaguar won't destroy any data on your hard drive, but if you don't have any partition and install OS X on the same partition than OS 9, your apps and your documents, it might be harder if you ever want to do a clean install of one of the OS, since the easiest way to do a clean install is to erase the partition. If you want to keep your hard drive as one partition, you can certainly do it. BTW, if you have any peripherals with your Mac, you should check the web sites of their makers to make sure they will still work in Jaguar. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/RV: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] brute force adj.: Describes a primitive programming style, one in which the programmer relies on the computer's processing power instead of using his or her own intelligence to simplify the problem, often ignoring problems of scale and applying naive methods suited to small problems directly to large ones.
