Make sure if you do that you buy an older iMac to do it with. Don't think you can pick up a new Mac Mini for $400 and do anything with pre-OSX files, because you can't. Mac "Classic" OS doesn't exist in the new intel machines. I'm sure some Mac addict hacker will program an emulator one of these days, but Apple uprgrades their old shit to death faster than McMicrosoft.
I'm no Jobs worshipper, and I agree with those who lambast Apple for putting out hardware product on the market that disintegrates from use. Nonetheless, when it comes to software MS has been chasing Mac from day one, and they continually come up with shit that loves to crash, freeze, reset itself for no reason, and invite every virus ever dreamt of for dinner when it's not busy arguing with security software that makes it crash, freeze, and reset itself for no reason. I'm sure Vista is more of the same.
