Classic Lives On!! Or does it?

Does anyone here still use 9 or at least Classic?

Personally, I keep classic running all the time. It doesn't slow down my 450 cube and it is convenient to be able to run any program on my computer without having to reboot

you kidding me ?
I use OS 9.2.2 for everything except programming
I just go into OS X when I need to experiment, or program -- even in OS X I would need to have classic on

for some reason DVD playback only works on OS X now... OS 9 doesnt "see" my DVD discs when in my DVD drive...weird

I switch between OS X and OS 9 right now. at this moment OS X is just a toy for me. (internet browsing and chating). but as soon as I get Adobe: photoshop 7.0, iLLustrator 10, and LiveMotion 2.0.... I will kiss OS 9 goodbye forever. (unless I need to use my scanner)

All my games are OS 9, so I have to keep Classic there just in case.

It really pisses me off that I have to load up Classic to scan anything. I've even put the Classic startup in my dock. I have to click that, and then press the purple button on the front of my scanner.

At one stage I thought about setting Classic to load on boot.

I've seen lots of scanners for under $50. I don't know if they have out-of-the-box OS X compatability, but they do exist really cheap. So you may want to consider dumping non OS X scanners for ones that will work.
