No 'tis true the G4 laptop isn't old enough to be able to boot into OS9 directly instead of running it in "Classic" mode. I did try the Mac demo however. I can't recall at the moment whether the T23 was up to the task but I know I must have tried something and then run into some cryptic error that I wouldn't know whether it was a graphics card error or something else.
When are they claiming to actually have the CMx2 version working?
