   An important reminder forwarded to us yesterday by Silvia
Herrero-Duvaras, our Apple Account Executive ... if you require that
your new Macintosh computers be capable of booting into Mac OS 9, the
time to buy them is probably now:

>September 10, 2002--Apple today announced that starting in January
>2003, all new Mac models will only boot into Mac OS X as the
>start-up operating system, though they will retain the ability to
>run most Mac OS 9 applications through Apple's bundled "Classic"
>software. There are nearly 4,000 native applications now available
>for Mac OS X.
>
>If customers need to BOOT into OS 9, they should consider ordering
>one of the currently offered systems.
