hey, i'm new here 8O virgin post wahoo! i manage pc maintance contracts and such with local businesses, some of the buggers are moving to mac's i gotta learn my way around mac os 9 and os X...

i can probably run os w/e upto 8.? do i really need to get a proper mac to know what os9 and osX are about?

lots of pretend ppc emulators about but nothing real yet?

whats the general opinion and will there really be a ppc emulator that will make me happy or is it all bullshit...

oh and somebod is giving me an old ppc desktop :? i don't know what it will be yet but 'tis at least 4 years old :wink:

It will run up to MacOS 8.6. So, yeah, you need a real Macintosh to experience 9 and 10.
