Build for Classic

[Luis]

I haven't seen that many OS9 boxes around lately, except for my old  
iMac (I need it, I haven't finished The Journeyman Project yet).

Anyroad, if issues of workload are to be borne in mind regarding  
unsupported OSs the we should also ditch Windows 98. Although I  
wouldn't agree with it on the grounds that there are tonnes of these  
around (I even saw 3.1 'For Workgoups' on every machine in a  
government department not two years ago, pretty nippy on them  
Pentiums I must say!).

Cheers,

Luis.
