Default Running monitors to use as computer speakers?

Hi group, thanks for your patience with me.
I purchased the Soundsticks thinking I could play my Pro Tool music
through them. Now that I know I can't I have several options.

1. Keep the Soundsticks and purchase new monitors specifically for Pro
Tools.

2. Use my headphones and save the files as waves or aiff, then run
them through the soundsticks since they will be played on I Tunes. I
am going to use some of my music on the web anyway, so this is not far
fetched.

3. Bring back my soundsticks and purchase the monitors for the 001
box.
This brings up a new question. (surprise surprise)!!!!

Since I am listening to my music through I Tunes in OS X jaquar, can I
download I Tunes for OS 9, run it in the background while I'm working
on something else in OS X, and have the music come out of the 001 box
through the monitors?

Thanks for your help and patience.

Why can't you?

I would personally do this, if only because I would want a substantially
better quality monitor personally.

2. Use my headphones and save the files as waves or aiff, then run
them through the soundsticks since they will be played on I Tunes. I

This seems like a major pain in the neck to me.

No, in order to run Pro Tools, you have to be actually running OS 9,
you cannot use the compatibility mode. You have to be running OS 9.
