As one who started life on the Mac with OS 9.0, barely knew OS 8, I really have a heart for this OS and believe it can be revised for modern use. Getting YouTube to run on OS 9 is very interesting and gives me plenty of hope that this forums members can make OS 9 work for the modern world. OS 9 has more potential than we know.
I remember in 1999, March I think maybe it was in Summer when I worked for CompUSA abd bought my 1st PowerMac G4 for 1599.99, a sawtooth - I also bought OS 9 retail (still have it) and AppleWorks 6.5.4. I also bought Mac OS X Server v1.23. I have 3 PowerPC Macs today - sadly, I had to part ways with my Sawtooth 350 at the time.
