What David said. When I upgraded from 10.1.5 to 10.2 on my machine, it was like I got a 50 mhz bump in speed. David's analogy is apt, though I'd put it like 7.6 vs 8.1 (which is, imo, to date, the most value-packed upgrade in terms of performance and usability, in Apple's history.) 10.1 to 10.2 is like 8.1 to 8.6. (note, everybdy had to pay full ride for those two upgrades, as well...) lots of imnprovements, a huge speed boost, and ubercool stuff like Rendezvous. (Rendezvous doesn't get lots of coverage, but the ability to stick a Mac on a network, and automatically go off and find other Macs isn't all that big news to those of us who've been using Appletalk all along. The diff here is that rendezvous works in pure TCP/IP networks, and there's some serious wizardry going on under the hood. Theoretically it could make *everyone's* networking as easy as two macs and a cable...*that* is huge.) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
