Hi Listers, Oh. My. Goodness!!!!!!!!! You all better sit down for this one --
I just kicked my G3/266 Beige DT from OS 9.1 up to OS 9.2.2! Yes, Me! I upgraded! Wow! This kicks some serious posterior! I've had the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 free upgrades sitting on my hard drive for quite a long time now since this upgrade was something I'd intended originally, but then decided against it because of some bad experiences and bad memories from past upgrades (and finally getting my Mac just the way I wanted it: if it ain't broke, don't fix it). However, all the OS 9 discussions of the last day or two got me thinking about it again. So you all wanna know who got through my solid neutronium skull? Thank you, RTowsley -- <My experience is same as Eric's & no OS 9 Helper needed on Beige G3's.> Thank you, Eric in Phoenix -- <I upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2.1 and .2 on two Beige 266 desktops. No problem at all.I did notice that the 9.2.x systems did seem to boot a little faster and finder response was snappier. Thank you, John Laughlin -- <In my experience, 9.2.2 feels almost like 8.6, in speed. 9.0 and 9.1 are just too Slooooow...> Okay, so I was a little paranoid, hahaha, I updated all my backups first and used my OS 9.1 CD as the startup disk, but once those were done I installed 9.2.1 and immediately proceeded to 9.2.2. Much to my pleasant and shocked surprise, on top of the definite speed increase (whoa does my G3 boot fast now!), I didn't have to actually "fix" anything like I've had to do with past upgrades (my desktop picture, for instance). Even most of my Recent Applications and Recent Documents were still there, and the Apple Menu Items exactly in place. This is SOOO COOOOOL..... :-D ~Yersinia. ________ "I still miss my ex.
