>>>Anyone interested in having OS X installed this summer in their labs
>>>needs to let me know before schools close for the summer. And if you
>>>have classrooms that want it installed, the same applies. And if you
>>>need to consult your principle that's not a problem
>>>
>>>At this point I can say with full confidence that there is no OS 8/9
>>>application I haven't been able to make work. I'll probably find one
>>>sooner or later. But the only one that has a really annoying problem
>>>but still works is KidPix. The stamp moves in a jerky fashion that
>>>makes it hard to place stamps precisely. But I understand OS 9 has
>>>this same problem. Upgrading is up to the school. You can check with
>>>ET if there's anything in the works for a district license. KidPixX
>>>is very cool
>>>
>>>I want to thank Cathy Pickens at Kerr for setting up one of her
>>>iMacs so I could copy it off for testing with OS X. She had been
>>>using OS 9.0.4 to retain compatibility for her software. All of
>>>which worked in classic mode on OS X
>>>
>>>And a big thank you to Jodie Thompson. She had the oldest model
>>>iMacs and OS X did quite well on them. And Jodie solved a lingering
>>>problem with OS 9 apps running on OS X so everyone could benefit by
>>>it
>>>
>>>One last thing, upgrading to OS X is completely voluntary. There is
>>>no requirement like the OS 8.6 regrade project to do it. But for for
>>>up to date browser support and iMovie projects, it's a good idea
