I didn't really get into the Mac side of the world until a few years ago as 
my career has me on Intel MS based machines since the 1980's and that's 
pretty much where I "lived".  However I was given a Wallstreet G3 a few 
years back from a Mac loving friend and discovered how delightful the Mac 
is.  My main machines are still Windows boxes (my old DOS boxes are long 
gone and I have one old Pentium II clunker running Ubuntu) and a Mac Mini. 
However - I can run Panther on the G3 Wallstreet.   A little shareware tool 
called AlPosto Facto (or some similar silly name) allows one to install it. 
With OS9 running you install this tool  and then boot into a Jaguar install 
CD, install Jaguar and then install Panther over the top.  So my little G3 
runs Panther happily.  I admit I don't use it all the time but it is quite 
responsive and great for doing simple stuff on  (like testing) even though I 
generally tend to use my Mac Mini.  My point is maybe this is an option OS9 
based schools could consider?
