Using OS 9 or X?

Just curious to see how many people here are completely OS X compliant. When Jaguar comes out, I will be.. My printer will be supported

All of my apps are X compliant right now, I could completely drop 9 any time I felt like it...

OS X all the way!

Personally, I only use X. I love it; and Classic is a pain. Anything I need to do I can do in X. My little sister is the only one in my house who uses classic: she likes to play a lot of older games that will never make it to X. The only game I truly miss is Tetris Max (EV with the Star Wars ANA plugin was also friggin' awesome, but maybe someone will do a similar plugin for EV Nova), and that was stopped being deveoped long before X. I wish I could get a copy of the source, and maybe make it Carbon. That would be soooooo cool!! It was the best Tetris game I ever played . . . . and now it is gone . Oh well, if I ever set up my old Performa, maybe I will make it a game machine: EV (the first one), Tetris Max, and SimCity 2000. Now that I have gotten way off-topic, lets see some more replies to this poll!

I'm in X for probably 98% of my comp usage. I'll only boot into 9 if I'm desperate to hear the music in Unreal Tournament

I use Mac OS X for 99.5% of my uses: I have Mac Office X, Quake 3 Arena (OS X vesion), VueScan X for scanning, AOL IM, Mozilla for cruising the web, BBEdit Lite for OS X for serious text editing, and X48 (Hewlett Packard 48GX calculator emulator). The ONLY reason I ever use classic is for chemistry drawing programs. One is not available for OS X, and the other and much better one is, but costs too much to upgrade. CambridgeSoft wants FULL PRICE for a 6 --> 7 upgrade. NO WAY! I don't have $500 (educational discount) laying around.

Damn that Tropico

My desktop is OSX, but I keep my iBook at 9.2 in case I have the urge to play Tropico. It's just too slow in OSX even on my G4. Someone, Apple, Pop-Top, ATI, I don't know should see if they can fix that problem.
