"Rip Van Macintosh" here. (I've been sleeping for about 10 years.) Turned my Macs off about 10 years ago, and just after OS X was rearing its' head and I've only recently fired up the sleeping beasts. Also, recently purchased a 2003 1.25MHz DP MDD (CTO) with the intention of making it an (OS 9 only) workstation shackled to my Epson 10600 printer. Well, lo and behold, there's a bunch of software that I'd like to retain... so I'd like to take the MDD back to OS 10.3 and of course, keep OS 9 as well. [Think it's currently running 10.5.8. Anyway, I've extensive Photoshop experience and now I've the time to get my head (and hands), back into it again.] I'm so glad to find this forum and all you folks. Hopefully, I'll be able to contribute to the overall mix as well. Guess my old G3 will go back to solo OS 9.
