Some apps demand OS 9.2 x. But 9.1 is very nice Mac OS version, especially so with Carbonlib 1.6 and Applescript 1.8.3. So if no important application liek a needed update demands 9.2.2, it's a viable solution to stay with 9.1. I stayed with 9.1 a full year after 9.2 had arrived and didn't upgrade until bugfixed 9.2.2 came. I feel 9.2.2 to be as stable as 9.1 for the apps I use. However, I do not find the belief, that most, or even less all, of the stuff in 9.2.x have to do with OS X compatibility, to be based in reality at all. For some reason some Mac users like to believe rather than know. Also, what if even if it were so and you could still make use of the minority of the changes that wasn't OS X oriented. What then does it matter if most are? Truth is the notion is irrelevant and also that 9.2.1 sucks and 9.2.2 doesn't. Probably this tendency to "believe" stems from the fact that since some time Apple do not disclose everything they do with the updates for some obscure reason and you have to read "secret" reviews like the ones in excellent MacWeekly Journal to really know what happened and how it affects you. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
