Well, only reason for me to boot into OS 9(don't use Classic) now is Final Cut Pro 2(too cheap or broke to upgrade)...

only because &$(*ing Quark

I am trying to make the switch to InDesign, but some of the printer we work with are a little resistant to the idea, although they don't really come up with any really good reasons.

What the hell was Quarl think in not Carbonizinf Quark 5.0 anyway. They need to step away from the crack pipe for a second and join the rest of who don't necessarily dwell in the elitist 'Quarkland.'

May it should be called Qrank 5.0 or Quack 5.0

Since Thursday, I now run Photoshop 7, Illustrator 10, Flash MX, ImageReady 7 all in OS X...I have an InDesign 2.0 demo and hope to get ID soon through work...

At that point I will only start Classic to test webpage in Classic versions of the browsers...

I keep Classic open all the time (for Photoshop; that will soon change once I get version 7).

I've yet to get my hands on the new Photoshop... and I still need to check Web pages in the old Netscape 4.x.

Besides these two things the only reason I ever see classic any more is when it loads when I don't want it to. This happens a lot when my Mom (on OS 9) sends me email attachments that have cretor/types that are associated with OS 9 programs.

I've sent feedback to Apple to request that they add a feature that allows us to either map OS 9 creators to OS X applications or to disable the auto-starting of Classic.

Hey, I don't think we are supposed to be bringing Tech Talk anywhere near the bar...
