Yes, though I didn't install Classic on my Mini and don't plan to, so I 
can't actually say first-hand. It is alleged to be an option.

Isn't 2007 a bit soon for Tiger? It will probably still be sup****ted 
then. For best stability, you want to make sure never to install an OS 
until after it is no longer sup****ted.  :-) I could dig up a copy of 
Apple Dos 3.2 if you'd like, but you can't have my 2e to run it on.  :-)

Are you really asking why software sometimes has bugs? And why sometimes 
new bugs that weren't in an older version appear in a new release of 
software and are squashed in a yet later release? If that's really what 
you are asking, it is a larger question than can be well addressed here. 
:-(

I'll assume this was more in the nature of a rhetorical sigh than an 
actual question. Perhaps the smiley on the next line was also supposed 
to apply here. That would make sense.
