What's up with this?



<a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/specs.html"; target="_blank">Where's the OS 9 CD?</a>



Look on the upper right corner just beneath the photo. The OS 9 CD is no where to be seen! Am I missing something? :confused:

    Do people really need an OS 9 disc included? Most people I think that will be using Jaguar already have OS 9.

    I dunno what happened to my new thread but anyway, my question was if OS X even needs OS 9 anymore? I mean only for classic but otherwise do you have to install OS X via OS 9 anymore? death of OS 9?

    Hmm...



    Good point, those who are upgrading from 9 can already update to 9.2.2 for free anyways, and 10.2 works with that (supposedly).



    Too bad for all those users still running OS 8...

    You never had to install OS X via OS 9. Lots of us have been using X w/o 9 even on our systems. OS X is a bootable CD and 9 was NEVER a requirement for it.

    OS X never needed OS 9 unless of course you wanted to use Classic.



    Oh well, torifile beat me to it.

    OS X at present comes on one CD, could it be OS X CDs is the OS X and Classic installation CDs?

    I was under the impression (correct me if I'm wrong) that the pre-release builds of Jaguar were multiple (six or something like that) CDs. Wouldn't something that big to begin with end up on at least 2 CDs?

    What does that have to do with Jaguar not coming with OS 9? I'm sure everyone that uses Quark already has OS 9...

    eman, for someone with over 5000 posts, i would think you could get what i am talking about. but i'll spell it out...



    steve says os 9 is dead.

    steve removes os 9 from mac os box.

    steve is therefore saying "we really friggin mean it this time. it's dead"

    quark says "eh, we'll get around to gettign xpress ready. for now it works 'fine' under classic."

    quark is obviously collectively on crack, because i had to reboot classic for the third time today, as quark just crashed classic... again.



    therefore, i want quark to wake up, smell the coffee, pay their respects to os 9, and get off their damn asses and get quark carbonized so i don't have to launch classic anymore.



    there, is that clear now?

    Ahh thanks StarfleetX!



    Now the rather large number of CDs I heard about makes sense. So perhaps OS 9 is included in the "OS X CDs" phrase on the page.



    I guess I'll find out when I buy it.



    :cool:

    Yeah. I should learn not to post when I'm really tired like I've been the past hour.

    I went looking around at various international Apple webpages and found the old stats for OS 10.1. Note the listing of the OS 9 CD beneath the picture:



    <a href="http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/upgrade/specs.html"; target="_blank">OS X 10.1</a>



    So, it seems more and more likely that Jagwire will not include OS 9.



    Wow, OS 9 really IS dead! :eek:

    That is not good it is BAD! Bad Bad Bad Bad!! What about all those old "classic" apps that will never be ported to os x...like sim ant? They are truly classics.

    Maybe they'll charge another $129 for OS 9.





    Actually, I don't even think you can buy OS 9 from Apple anymore, so they'll have to include it.

    Good point. Sim Ant was great! But look on the bright side: we've still got Bubble Trouble and Glider!

    Well, if you are using these great Classic-only apps, you probably have Classic installed as a bootable OS on another partition, so you don't really need another OS9 disk to come with 10.2. For those user who don't have a copy of OS9, then they probably aren't using these apps, and hence won't really miss them. Really, who doesn't have most of the old OS disks laying around somewhere? If you do, you don't need another and if you don't, why would you need one now?

    rok&gt; iM with you on the quark issue... whats worse is I am forced to use Xpress-passport, which uses a dongle(hardware-key). I used griffin's iMate USB-adapter thingie, and between the instability of quark in X, and the on-and-off dependability of the drivers....long story short- i actually have to reboot and use os9 just for Quark...now thats a real bummer.

    Now if InDesign would get their asses in gear (them and the printhouses that use quark) I would be in X heaven.

    BTW...am i the only one that gets annoyed when iSteve calls it OS10"dot"1 ?!!!!
