Clint - Thanks for the update on Panther and Classic.  If the guy with 
the TiBook has his own 9.2 disk (from when be bought that computer 
originally), then Panther might still allow him to continue using his 
old OS 9 software (that is, I'm drawing a distinction between the 
Classic functionality in OS X, versus the 9.2 disk that's needed to 
implement that functionality).  Again, I don't know, since I don't have 
Panther, but I would be VERY surprised if Apple stripped out its 
Classic functionality from Panther.

All my best,

Evan
