If you buy a newer Mac you can always have multiple boot drives and
take advantage of both OS X and the better legacy stuff. There are
older G4s selling in the neighborhood of $1000 and G3s going for
$700-800.
OS X is fine and dandy, but OS 9 is perfectly suitable for a variety
of music applications (and also remember that not all software is OS
X compatibly anyway). It's what I'm using on a G4/500 and I'm not
complaining.
