i very very rarely use classic in osx. but i boot up into os9 all the time. i probably spend more time in 9 than x. but once im in x im committed. no classic, unless an emergency. ive got classic starting up in about 30 seconds so its not too bad if i need a classic app real fast, but i quickly shut it down when im done. if i actually need to use a classic app then its reboot time. although mostly i reboot just because osx really gets annoying after awhile, everything so slow, and all the window issues that apple hasnt cleaned up. os9 is quite refreshing after a long stay in x... funny though osx is quite refreshing after some time in os9. osx is stable and easy on the eyes, but cramped buggy and slow. os9 is fast fast bug free and fast, oh and its fast.
