Hello.
I have an old 15" PowerBook G4 (1 Ghz) with its updated Mac OS v10.2.8
and v9. What are some cool useful apps to use in them these days? I know online apps will be useless since they are very old. Hopefulyl, I can
still download something in them. If not, then I can use my USB1 flash (stick/drive)s and LAN. I tried Linux (tried various PowerPC
distributions) in it, but it was just too slow, could never get its wifi
to work, and frustrating compared to PCs. :(
What are some old cool Mac OS programs for Mac OS v9 & X v10.2.8? Thank
you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

There is lots and lots of old software for old Macs, both games and apps.

By far the most useful collection of programs on OS8.6 and OS9 is
"Claris Works". I still run my entire business on CW 4.0 and use it for everything in the office.

Wow, how is its compatbility with the newer MS Office documents?

Yep, any Mac software older than 10 years is considered "abandonware"
and uploaded to that very useful resource website for us vintage Mac
fans.
I am going to try installing a new Leopard into this old PB G4. I hope it still comes with Mac OS 9.

There's also a bit of a hiccup in that one of them (I can't
remember off the top of my head which one it is) needs to be on the
hard drive's first partition to be able to be seen for booting.

Yes, but the install discs for each version of MacOS are separate and
have to be installed separately.
Part of the reason it was done that way is so that people who didn't
want one of them for whatever reason didn't have to install it.

mac os x did not include mac os 9. no reason why it would.
also, leopard was released long after the mac os 9 funeral, thus it

it did not, nor could it have, since mac os 9 had long been dead and

many people mistakenly think mac os x included mac os 9 because it

Gentlemen, please stop arguing.
Classic wouldn't work unless you installed MacOS 9. It wasn't an
in-built funciton of MacOS X itself, it was basically a virtualisation, similar-ish to running Windows under Parallels or VMWare.
With the
appropriate options you could watch MacOS 9 booting within MacOS X when
you first used "Classic", including the good old "march of the
extension icons".

You will need separate OS 9 and OS X install discs and do one at a
time. There's also a bit of a hiccup in that one of them (I can't
remember off the top of my head which one it is) needs to be on
the hard drive's first partition to be able to be seen for

He was writing about Leopard Mac OS 10.5.x
It (Leopard) did not ship-with or support Mac OS 9 (Classic mode)
His PB G4 can easily run Mac OS 9 and Leopard 10.5.x But must boot
natively into one or the other's OS. That is Leopard does not support running Classic Mac programs, only native PPC Mac OS X programs.
