Question What keeps you from using OS X exclusively

I'm now only using OS 9 (and I have to boot - Classic doesn't work right) for the TWAIN Scanner of mine through Photoshop 6.

I have 7, but when I scan, i have to reboot. As soon as Epson have OS X drivers, I'll never use OS 9.

But I'll never delete as you never know when you'll want it....

I have the Epson Scan To File app and Photoshop 7... can't scan directly from PS7 but the Scan To File works just fine. So it's an extra step - beats booting into OS9!

But I doubt I'll ever get rid of OS9, since a few programs that have Carbonized patches still need the original Classic installer to install the program in the first place (Acrobat 5, Unreal Tournament & Diablo II)

Games! Everything else works perfect. I also have an epson scanner. Go to version tracker and get Vuescan. It doesnt work through photoshop but it will scan in X and you can save and open it in PS

Talking Nothing!

Nothing at all is stopping me from running OS X exclusively! Photoshop 7.0 is just like I predicted (sorry about the gloating) it would be--the absolute BEST Carbonization I know of. They went so far as to use InDesin (although the code base was much newer) and Illustrator as guinea pigs. It's all X from here on out.

I'm still waiting for FireWorks! What the heck is taking so long MM?!?!?

The other app that sends me to classic is RealPlayer. I find this expecially galling since in for me Real Player has the distinction of being the absolutely most annoying and shitty software I hate to use! grrrr!

nothings stopping me from using osx only!

theres plenty stopping me from being productive though... im hand coding html and learning to use the gimp until dreamweaver comes out and i bite the bullet for ps7. the lack of games is kind of a plus though
