That offer is for user who do not own OS 9. Since you own it you own it already. And installing Panther will not erase it.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

It's a good thing to have around. I recently upgraded to Panther and discovered that I had to update my firmware, the only way I could do it was using 9. Thank god I had a copy.

I use OS 9 mainly for VPC. VPC runs much more quickly in OS 9 on my 700mhz iBook with 384mb RAM than it did on my Dual 867 with 768mb RAM in OS X.
