        Yes. Note that printing is much simpler under 10.3 -- better
than on Classic Mac, and better than on Windows, in my experience.

        Yes. Download via http://software.berkeley.edu/ .

My users (and I) love the free SnapNDrag -- it's simple and
effective. See: http://www.yellowmug.com/ .

        Yes.

        I've used several components of older Photoshop and Acrobat
under classic mode on a 10.3 machine, and they seem to work fine.
You can get new OSX compatible versions of Adobe titles via
http://gotrc.com/uc/ .

        You probably know this, but make sure that you have a decent
amount of RAM on these machines... people will have different
opinions, but I think you'd want at least 512MB for a general-use
machine. The more the merrier, of course.
