I am using my pc keyboard and mouse with a ps/2 to usb adaptor. however in os 9 the right mouse button does not work. it does work in os x however. is there a program i can download to allow support for the right mouse button in os 9?
 
Oh you mean the commercial version of Acrobat for creating pdfs, I just assume that someone means acroread when they say Acrobat. =)

Personally I would just grab one of the many PDF printer tools and install that, you won't have the same amount of control but it won't require keeping a POS like Win9x around. =)

Does Classic MAC OS belong in the POS crowd just like Windows 9X? Which is worse, or are they both equally bad?

I haven't used Mac OS that much so I can't comment a whole lot. But I do know that it's memory management was worse than that of Win9X, on the propery page of each executable you could specify how much memory each application was allocated. So if Photoshop needed more memory you had to quit, change the property page and restart Photoshop and try again.

From a purely technical standpoint it was probably worse, but there were less problematic applications and drivers so the overall experience was better.

The freeware nowadays is called just "Adobe Reader". My personal theory is that they dropped "Acrobat" because the program got too dull :evil:

I don't use distiller (in fact I produce most PDF files with OS X' integrated printer tool which is okay for basic conversion. I need "Acrobat" to merge PDF pages into single documents.

Technologically it is out of date but I liked its interface very much and seldom had problems or crashes. In OS X' early days (say the two years before 10.2) OS 9 was more user-friendly, in my opinion. Apple axed some OS features that I liked (most of them are back again, together with many new ones) and unnecessarily changed some keyboard shortcuts.

It's sad that I won't be able to use my OS 9 software when I sort out my last PPC-based mac 🙁 So far nobody has tried to make an OS 9 emulator for the x86 Macs.
