You mean, the PTP won't handle Panther? Horrors!
I'm sure it would have. Just never installed it on that machine. It
only left because I was becoming "computer poor" <G> The one PTP still
here I use as storage is running 10.3.4 thanks to XPosFacto.
Ten is so involved and non intuitive, it makes one think Apple has
forgotten the original mission statement:
To make computing easy and accessible by the Non-Geek. Sometimes OS
10.2 is as frustrating as CPM and DataBase II was, on my old K-pro.
It took me awhile, but I am a sold OS X fan nowadays. I have one older
peripheral that needs classic to run, but when it dies, I will replace
it with one that runs under OSX.
It would appear to me, that Apple has gone to "Geek Niche Marketing"
... I'm not saying that is wrong. People have the right to be
different; hell some folks like choppers and Harley Davidson
Greyhound busses. BUT ... I think it was a grave management mistake
to halt the development of OS 9. They have lost ease of use, a major
selling point.
I'm hardly a geek, but productivity wise with normal, mainstream,
business tasks? OS X blows the door off OS 9. I am solid fan of OS X
now. We run 10.3.5 on all the Macs here that support it.

Old has nothing to do with it. I'm so old I know I like girls and don't
remember why anymore. But I am still a huge fan of OS X. 9 was great,
but OS X does so many more things without all those idiosyncrasies we
came to know in OS 9. :-)
