I have been around since OS6 and I know what you mean about waiting for the new
OS versions to stabilize before installing them. But I should not have waited on OS
X. It's STABLE. Incredibly STABLE. Can we say NO ZERO NONE ZIP NOT ONE single
system crash? I haven't even gotten a kernal panic yet. It's fast, it's powerful,
you can do actual multitasking. I can download files from the net and still surf the
net and read and write email.
I'll admit I don't use the same programs you use, but most programs will run in
the Classic side of OS X. It's something that you can leave running while you are in
OS X and just switch to it when you need it (no waiting for it to boot up.) I use
Pagemaker and Microsoft Excel with ease.
The real advantage...the stability, speed, and ability to multitask.
You should try it. I regret waiting so long to switch. I have it on a rev A
clamshell iBook and an 800 Ti.
