I simply have no need to use classic anymore, all the apps I use (photoshop, indesign, illstrator, Quark, Dreamweaver, Flash, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Cinema 4D, Vectorworks) all made the switch so I did too!

Never looked back :cool:

Still no Real Producer for OS X, so to Classic I must go from time to time. Otherwise, I can do everything in OS X now, though it took a year or so to get there.

The only reason I keep Classic around is just in case I ever need to open:

--an old pre-OS X Word Perfect document (more and more unlikely as the years pass by)
--access any data from OS 9 income tax software-generated returns
--look up something in OS 9-era family health/medical CDs from the Mayo Clinic and from the American Medical Assoc. (but rather than launch classic, I've found up-to-date family health info at http://www.medlineplus.gov/, the Mayo Clinic and other reputable medical sites).

Occasionally I have to run Quark 5 since I absolutely refuse to give the Quark Corp another dime of my money to upgrade to 6. And really, since the rest of the graphics community seems to feel the same way, I'm down to running classic maybe once or twice a month. 99.9% of what I do is through InDesign CS.

Other than that, I haven't looked back either. If they don't make for OSX, I don't need it. :)

Check out Illustrator CS 2 details on adobe.com. I'm pretty sure I saw something there about enhanced tracing tools! Can't wait.

I doubt classic will even exist soon. So bye bye to old technology no one ever uses any more. If you do use it buy a better machine/software!

classic?
 

Haven't fired up classic for anything on either work or home machines for over a year. However, I keep an old 7300/200 downstairs for the kids to surf on and use for reports. However they really only use it to run Diablo and Marathon Durandel!

When I feel like constructing a crossword puzzle, I have a very old cranky PB that does just fine running Cruciverbalist. I'd pay good money to find an OSX crossword constructor that could match up to that program!

There's only one guy in the offiice (out of 9 mac users) that boots Classic more than a few times a month, and that's for Streamline. Am I sensing a trend here? What crawled up Adobe's butt so bad that they can't port Streamline? Judging by these posts, it'd be a hit!
