There's a bloke in the States flogging CDs on Ebay (http://tinyurl.com/9w6r9) to upgrade Mac OS 8 or 9 to the latest version. It's only £3.99 + £2.75 postage.
I bought one of these and delivery took less than 10 days with Xmas in the middle. Despite what the auction says, I got 2 CDs, one with the OS 8 upgrades on, and another with the OS 9 upgrades and the utils/games, which were quite handy for me, as a new Mac owner (Acrobat, Netscape, iTunes etc). I'm not sure of the legality of the upgrades (didn't Apple sell some of the upgrades?), but I painlessly upgraded my B&W G3 from 9.04 to 9.2.2 using the second disc. I'd recommend it for any G-series Mac owner. There are also some firmware upgrades for G4 Cubes, iMacs, Powerbooks and G4s. He also does a similar thing for OS X on DVD for £5.99 which I may invest in once my just-ordered ATI Gfx card arrives from Forevermac.com which will let me install OS X on my Mac, the existing Formac Gfx card being unsupported by OS X to the extent that the OS X installer in both Panther and Tiger won't display a viewable picture on the screen... If anyone wants me to post a directory listing of the CDs, I'm happy to oblige as long as you can tell me the Mac equivalent of dir /s/b > filename.txt on a PC is!
