I (myself) have been more accustomed to the look and "feel" of the 9.2
as I cut my teeth on OS 8 on a Centris 650 (prior to adding the upgrade card).

The dock is interesting but I see little difference to the right hand
corner "finder" where you can call up "hidden" apps that are in the background.

Not being too proficient I am at a loss to understand what you mean by
"having access to the terminal". On that note I am puzzled as I
embarrassingly admit I don't know what "gui" stands for either.

I am not saying that OS 9.2 and earlier are better, I am just more used
to how they worked and as such felt more comfortable using them.

I will say that running the program, Seti at home, runs approximately
10-20% faster on 10.1.3 than it does in 9.2.2. I am puzzled about that
one. This is one program I like to use to determine the speed of the
computer as it is relative to other processors and other OS's.
