Sorry to barge in but I can't resist seeing these over-generalizations...

>I think you perfectly see what happens in the world :-)
>Soon PPC macs will die.

Rubbish. PPC hardware is not gonna die just because newer Macs will 
run on Intel. Apple's hardware is known for longevity.

OSX is 5 years old and even Apple admits that half of Mac users still 
haven't migrated. And even among those who did, quite a few run it on 
old G3s or G4s.

>But you worry about very old OS 9 computes.

Is G4 really so old? I have a few running OS9.

When talking really old, I have a mail server running under 8.1 on 
7100 at one client (a department at a university).

>You know I have read statistic, that OS 9 users almost NOTHING buy.

Also rubbish as generalization. True only if you talk about general 
consumer software. And partly at least because most developers 
stopped producing newer versions for OS9, so there is little new to 
buy that they don't have.

Totally irrelevant statistics if you talk about specialized programs. 
I know of people who have substantial client base among classic users 
and still making good money of them.

>>  Valentina 1.x is an answer

But Paradigma seems to stop selling V1 products for which V2 is out.
