Classic Lives On!! Or does it?

You can. get info on the file, select Open with application and then pick the program and hit change all.

Yeah, but when I just double-click an image from Entourage I don't even have that opportunity.

The catch-22 here is that you can't "change all" unitill you have a file that matches. I'd like to have a way to see which file types will be associated before I even have such a file.

I can Change All, but that won't keep my Mom from sending me another attachement with the Simple Text association...

Well... I've had my iMac for a week, and I havn't started up Classic once. Guess I'll be deleting it pretty soon, maybe not.

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...

That's why you use the piece of shareware called "Classic?". It's a great program that has a Classic Environment suppresser... very, very handy.

If you DO want to wait 5 months to get the feature, though, I think Jaguar bodes well. Just look at this pic from ThinkSecret:
