remaining reasons for forcing us back into OS 9?

[osxe]

Well I'm almost there, how about yourself?

I mean what exactly is stopping anyone from staying inside OS X permanently?

My main 3 excuses for returning to Nineville are:

1) iRez Kritter Webcam, I have emailed them and they tell me drivers X are on the way.
2) Unreal Tournament. I read somewhere that someone is finally bringing this to X.
3) Burning, well Toast Preview 1 worked for pre X.1 and I hear that a 2nd preview version will be available as early as today.

Well that's about it. Wow.

[Oh one more thing I have an Epson 1290 printer. It's a new model I believe, I wonder if anyone knows if I can use this to print in OS Ex/Ten Point One?]

So what are your excuses for booting into 9, let's hear them, including you old timers who just don't want to change and adapt to the 21st Century Hey that was meant to be a joke! @@

Note: it is very easy to use the likes of Photoshop and Illustrator in Classic. very very easy with hardly any noticable difference than actually running them raw in 9ville. so what are your ABSOLUTE NECESSARY reasons for going downstairs, counting backwards, downgrading to 9?

The only thing stopping me from using osx all the time is that my Alcatel Speed Touch USB ADSL modem doesn't work in osx, but I think they are making new drivers for it

And when that is done, OSX here I come

Heh, MacMAME gets me booting back into 9. I can't function with the keyboard in some of those games, I gotta be able to use my USB controllers. (Same goes for some other emulators I have, but mostly MacMAME )

Hmm, also things that have to be installed in 9 are a pain - just had to reboot into 9 last night to apply ATI's flash ROM update for my retail Radeon. Hopefully these companies get with the program and make stuff that will work in OS X!

I have to boot in to 9 avery time I want to watch a friggin' DVD. Stupid Apple, not supporting hardware based DVD decoding. Hopefully one of the forthcoming updates will fix me up. Once that's done, I'm just waiting for OSX versions of Canon's scanner driver, Office for OSX, and a chance to run out and buy Quicken for OSX, and I won't even have to start up Classic from within OSX any more. Ooooh, will that be a happy day!

No audio apps work. Propellerheads Reason, and Steinberg Cubase.

Also printing to Laserjet 5L or 4V. Works fine in 9.

I'm still waiting for an OS X native version of the Palm Desktop. I use Pocket Quicken to sync my Quicken data.

Went out an bought Quicken 2002. Love it. Now Palm need to get off there butts and do something

Once that is finished, I plan on kissing Mac OS 9.2.1 goodbye

- Lack of native printing support Canon BJC-3000 (14 months old)

- Lack of DVD support (B/W G3) (14 months old)

- Lack of drivers for Orange Micro Grappler SCSI

- Probable lack of support for whatever OEM CDRW is hidden inside my external SCSI CDRW case (much older, but worked fine under 9.x)

But gosh at least my digital camera works now.
