I'm still using 9.2.1. Most apps are still not OSX compatible, and many of the old peripherals, Wacom tablet, SCSI zip drive, etc. will never be. So until these bite the dust and/or budget allows, there's no OSX. The only app I have that I use that's OSX compatible is Photoshop 7, still shrink-wrapped in the box. I'm just learning to use Pshop 6! We'll install 7 as soon as time for learning allows. I'm still on a curve from buying the G4 and getting everything working on that. All the other apps, Dreamweaver, Eudora, Quark, MS Word, MS Excel, etc. are only 9 savvy. The other trouble is I don't plan to upgrade the MS products or the Quark because I don't use them enough to warrant it at all. (I'm going to switch to Appleworks for the MS uses.) A real biggie for me: I felt like I knew the Mac OS inside out, but I know nothing about Unix. Not that I have to, but evidently I can't even make a backup CD of everything in case of a complete Hard Drive failure, because there are hidden files I can't copy. I'm not sure if I install programs what parts are where, yet. I don't understand maintenance; I don't know where my files are; what are Libraries??? I'm sure once I've had the time to sit down and learn everything OSX will rock. This will take a while though, with steady P/T work and a 4 year old.
