The system got more and more buggy as time went on and I realized that it was most definitely worth it in terms of having a disk to reinstall/recover from when needed. Having the system disks and doctor tools was well worth the investment. Image Solutions http://store.yahoo.com/image-solutions/macos9featsh.html Sells 9 together with two upgrade disks (9.1 and 9.2) for $79 (I don't have any connection with them besides the purchase). I don't know if this is the best price, but seemed reasonable. John McClain [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
