Classic a done deal?

Just setup a new iMac G5 for someone at work. It shipped without Classic support installed. That’s the first Mac I’ve gotten that way…even my G5 shipped with Classic pre-installed.

    It’s funny, considering how rabid the MacOS supporters have always
    been (um, myself included), but all I really have to say about the
    fact that classic is no longer pre-installed is, “Good Riddance!”

    I pretty much agree, but I hope its not a big issue for K-12 schools.

    I haven’t dug on the included disks, but I rather expect I’ll find that
    an installer for Classic support is included. At least I hope so.
    Mind you, I don’t have it installed OMMs, but I know a lot of people
    who do still use it and would be dissapointed to find it missing on a
    new Mac.
