Oh, come on. OS 9 is for people who don't buy new things. OS X is for
people who do. The developers know where to go.

Out of how many? One of my script sets (Export-Import Entourage) had had
12,000 downloads in its Entourage X version vs. 4,500 downloads in Entourage
2001 version (some of which were actually used in Classic in OS X) before
AppleScript Central's recent demise.

You really must be joking. How can you possibly call OS 9 secure? A child
can break into it, even with Multiple Users installed. All you need is an OS
CD. What in the world do you mean by OSX being insecure "precisely because
OSX is Unix-based"? It's really time for you to eat your hat, Gary.
I hope you enjoy OS 9 for many decades to come. Of course it works OK.
(Yawn.) As long as you're not turned on by new software or new hardware, you
won't miss what you haven't got.
