Chris,
I admit I have not been reading all of this thread since I use 9.22 by
choice to run pro tools.
Still, what part of the world are you in?
It is very possible that you might land a tiger ready mac for free via
the freecycle network.
If you are unaware of it, or how to tap into its resources, write me off
list.

OK, and I am sorry about saying this, but what sollution do I have with
os9.22. I know, I agree with you, man, using a Tiger system would be a lot
better, but, again, I am really really bad off financially. I cannot afford
to get a system like this. I need to work with what I have. I understand
and I whole heartedly agree it's not gonna really be very good, but, at least
it would work. It's better than nothing at all. Don't you agree? It's not
that I don't wish to take hyour suggestion, believe me i do, but when you
never would really have enough to get one, what're you gonna do. And at
literally 10 20 if I am lucky dollars at the end of the month, I'd be here
till the day I died trying to buy the thing.
Chris.

ideally what you need friend is the following
G3 blue and white tower with 400mhz processor. this is an upgradeable mac
and can take most components including a CPU upgrade. or even better a G4
450. these will take tiger but its recommended to get some spare sticks
of memory to upgrade it. also a larger hard drive. say 80gb disk.
that way tiger will work happily and run voiceover.
sadly outspoken is not easily available and for you to run OS 9.2.2
effectively then you need the very last version of outspoken which is 9.2
so that you dont get a crash or anything.
best thing is a tiger based system that way you can get things done much
better. use the net, do what you need to etc.
