Money. I don't want to spend a wad of cash upgrading every app that came with my iMac (summer 02000), when they aren't being used regularly, but I do want to easily access the files created with them, not **a version** of the files.
Time. Our mac is partitioned, so holding down the alt key (is that the one that is also called option? I never could get that straight in fifteen years of using macs) takes you into the 'choose boot drive' screen (?Open Firmware?) then we click on the OS9 icon and away it goes. This saves five minutes (it seems like 5: probably less) of booting into OSX then running Classic.
Legacy apps. We have a fair few apps (mainly kids stuff) that just won't run, or runs wonky, or scribbles all over the screen, under Classic.
The downside of OS9 is that I suspect it laughs in the face of OSX file permissions (I'm keeping my fingers crossed that neither wean ever starts to rummage round the finder before OS9 is finally retired).
