Are you a full time OS X user yet?

I've only been a Mac-user for about 14 months, I used OS 9 for about 2 months until 10.1 was released and since that point I've been a full-time OSX user.

9 was cool, I wish I used a Mac earlier so I could have done more in 9, but the only reason I purchased an Apple instead of a PC in the first place was because of OSX. I don't even have Classic on my computer .. absolutely no need for it!

I am also reasonably new to Macs. I converted in November, 2000 when I couldn't stand the pressure any longer and bought a G4 Cube (just to cool not to have!). I started using OS X a couple of months after it was released and have never turned back. If it won't run in OS X, I don't buy it. Except for the extra HD space, I would never notice if OS 9 was deleted.

I have a PM 7200 at home with OS9...my ibook only has OSX installed, though. I decided if they didn't make it for X, I didn't need it.

i still use classic for legacy software I have
(ex. medical textbooks and children
software for my daughter.)

Otherwise I use os x exclusively.

Been using Macs all my life, but been using OS X since 10.0. I even used solely the Public Beta for a month just too see what it was like. It was hard and I couldn't play games but even that worked out fine (though slow on my Rev. A iMac). Since then I still have 9 running on my iMac but I don't even use it, my sister does. My tower still has classic but I don't even know if I've ever booted it? heh... X rocks!

I use an Epson 740 printer and always boot back into my Classic partition when printing pictures...the options are much easier to set up in OS9 than in OSX...i've messed up several times when trying to print in OSX.

I also boot back into OS9.x when burning CD's with Toast...I have made coasters in OSX, but I can't remember the last Coaster in OS9.

I still use an older Quicken version and American Heritage Dictionary which require Classic...My Appleworks 6.2.4 application is installed on the OS9 partition, although I can run it from OSX without starting Classic .

I have several reference CD's which require OS9 and earlier to run...e.g.,ABA Family Legal Guide, 3D Atlas, Family Doctor, Mayo Family Health, GME97...be a shame to toss them.

And a Passel of different games which can only run in Classic.

I'm afraid I fail to see why a lot of folks see it as a plus to drop OS9 altogether...i'd feel shortchanged if I couldn't still use it.
