Dear Kathi: I love reading posts from people who "hear" that OS X is (fill in the blank) and have NEVER used it! Yes, OS X would probably suck big time on your G3 233 but if you'd consider using a MODERN Macintosh, I think you'd be very pleased with the performance. But, since you asked, I have a G4 867 and a G4 Dual 1 gig and yes, OS 9 runs just fine on them. Also, considering the sheer power of the MODERN Macs, I can't imagine what type of "graphic arts" you do on that little G3 233. Sorry for the tone of this but you should wake up and smell the coffee.
