The fact that this is a Tech forum, I assume that most of us have to have fairly new computers for our jobs or (for those of us still in college) major. OS 9 is too old for any of that, it isn't even UNIX and no one I know even remembers how to program it.

No one uses a OS thats more than 2 or 3 versions out of date, there have been 5 versions of OSX. It'd be like using Windows 3.1 (which I still do occasionally :p)
