Sure, go for it! I'm running OS X on a partition on an older iBook SE and it works splendidly! Running older apps under the Classic Environment works exceptionally well, except for some games, and you'll be able to use your Unix skills in X's Terminal app. I believe you'll get AppleWorks 6...

Thanks for that info, Pascal; its not being implemented for desktop Macs wasn't made clear in any of the gazillion Apple docs I've read. BTW, just for the record, Doffie is female. (No prob though, as nothing about the name clearly indicates gender). ;^)

I just discovered this and am posting just in case others haven't noticed: A quick way to resize the Dock, bypassing the menus, is to grab the white separator line on the right side of the Dock and wiggle it.

This isn't exactly a tip or a trick, but I wanted to exclaim about how cool the Grab feature is. I've used all three options (Screen, Selection, Timed Screen), and it works great. Pasting a selection into an email is just beautiful. Of course, the recipient would have to be using X's Mail app...

Use the Inspector (Command-I) to get info on one file. Leaving the Inspector window open, select another file and the Inspector displays the info for the new one. Cool that you don't have to open close/open repeatedly to inspect a number of files.

Some more data for the crew: Both my iBook SE ("old" one) and my Bronze PowerBook sleep well and wake fast! Sleep works using either the Sleep command or just shutting the lid. The Sleep command, however, does not work on my iMac SE, 3rd Rev.
