chhotiiWell excuse us for being early adopters of Apple Computer technology. Apparently this makes us too square for Apple Inc. (Ipod Inc.?) to deal with.
So my co-workers have tons of work that was done in an old Macintosh program that was never ported to OS X. Apple Inc. is no longer in the business of selling computers that run Macintosh programs. If you have the latest and greatest-- an Intel mac and/or 10.5-- no Classic environment, no more 20th century software for you.
I'm trying to get SheepShaver to work. It's tantalizingly close to working, except that all the OS 9.0 CDs I have are ones that originally came with computers. No "generic" OS 9.0 CDs. Apple is giving away versions 7.5 to 8.1, but not 9.0. Can't I buy OS 9.0? No? Duh, silly me! Computers aren't for continuing work started 10 years ago! Computers are for downloading music!
P.S. Any packrats out there who can loan me a generic Mac OS 9.0 CD? (Has to be 9.0, not 9.2, alas.)
