I'd suggest you ask your specific questions of the crew here:
comp.sys.mac.apps
Everybody's all a-flutter over the recently-released OS 10.3, so there
not exactly enthralled with dealing with an ancient system 8.
The 8500 won't run OS X, but it is upgradeable to 9.2x. I have 9.21 on
a separate partition for older stuff.
Additionally most of the shareware/freeware (commercial as well) is
still available for the older (meaning 9.x) systems. There's much
cut-out and discontinued software still available for such systems.
