I'll be using OS 9.2.2 for a while yet...Nothing can steal
it away from me...Yet.
I still use it for some applications and of course my
collection of games.
Now here's a clubhouse I can relate to. Seeing as OS X will never work on my PM 6500/400 G3, it looks as if I will be in this clubhouse for a while yet. No complaints though

what about those who are still running 8.1? where's our clubhouse?
not that I really care .. just thought I'd question it .. me I'm running Panther on one system, Jaguar Server on another, OS 9.2 on my mint Bleuberry (yes I know I spelt it wrong) and 8.1 on my 5300c (which in thanks to a eBay purchase and help from Bill at NorthStar in Barrie - is a portable once again)
still use os9 on the powermac's for music app's
the powerbook is osx only
i will be recieving panther hopefully end of this week
if it rocks like everyone says it does, i could be kissing os9
goodbye and going totally panther!!
How about the good old CLassic on OS 6? i have only one running os 6 with that little Neko Cat screen saver and the old, like Very OOOLLLLDDDDD Software. i think they are not as old as me, but they are still working and kickin':lmao:
They way OS 9 would just lock up solid when you ran out of RAM was TEH AWSUM!!!!!?!!!
Actually, I do keep a form of OS 9 around. I have Sheepshaver installed and use it to play ONE game. Sometimes I can't believe I waste a GB of hd space just for this one thing, but I do kinda also keep it around to prove to naysayers that it can be done, OS 9 can still run in a limited way on an Intel Mac.
I remember deliberately getting an dual processor MDD Power Mac G4 over a G5 simply because it could run OS 9 (and it was a lot cheaper too). I still miss a lot of my old OS 9 favorites. (Deus Ex, X-Wing, TiE Fighter, Wing Commander 4...)
Lol, OS 9 favourites. Thats funny as they were my favourite Windows classics (i have all that you mentioned) and I still play my classics when I can.
The funny part was I didn't notice the date on this thread, and was reading everyone was just NOW getting Panther and couldn't understand why it took so long for them to get it... Must be a friday, I am a little slow.
I still use OS 9 everyday on my old PowerTowerPro. It's mainly for checking the comics and email in the morning and at lunch. I also use it on my Pismo when I visit my parents.
It still works great as long as you don't need to see the latest flashplayer and media files (YouTube)
I still run OS8.6 on my iMac G3 and PM6400. they work great for older games too. What am I missing?
