need a Mac OS version before X...
 

I have a program I need to access on my Mac that only runs in operating systems before OS X...I've tried looking on the Apple website but can't seem to find a 9.x version...anyone know if there's any place online I can still get it??

You're saying you have a program that runs on OS 9? If so you should be able to run it on any OS X version before the one being released today at 6pm. If you have a Mac you should be able to run it in some kind of compatibility mode. They are dropping this support with Leopard.

I try to start Classic mode at it tells me I need OS 9.1 or later in order to do so...which I don't have! So how can I get it?

That's a good question. Some places you might try:
Craigslist in your town.
There may be a Mac Users Group in your area.
You might try calling around to some graphic design firms and see if they have IT guys with old copies around.
Same with Art Schools or Community Colleges.

Starting with 10.3, Classic wasn't factory installed. It should be on the disks your Mac came with and you can install it off there.

Hey Dom, are you planning on buying it? I found them on ebay and amazon.
