It's good to have it for that one necessary Mac OS Classic application that one can't do without. Other than that, it's not needed. If you don't have any OS 9 apps that you need you can do away with Classic if you want. As for space, OS 9 doesn't really take up that much compared to the size of some hard drives nowadays. I have it installed on an older Mac clone and it only takes up a few megs.
