Classic in Panther?

[JJMac]

Can I access Classic and pre-OS X applications while using Panther? (Or while using Jaguar?) I can't decide whether to upgrade to Jaguar or Panther. I'm a Mac user but somewhat computer illiterate and my PS Elements and Photoshop are both pre-OS X. I can afford to upgrade the OS, possibly, but not to buy all new programs. Help?

Yes there still is Classic support in Panther. I know the newest versions of Adobe software are OS X only (started with PS7?) though so if you update keep that in mind.
