HAHAHAHAHA, I know. Which was why I warned everyone "you better sit down" when I posted about having done this upgrade. ;-) Anyway.... <Sometimes OS upgrades aren't that great, but that's no reason not to at least try them out.> When they work out as well as this one did, absolutely yes, it's worth it to have done it. However, I've had enough experiments go wrong, too, where not only did the whatever-it-was didn't work (either as expected, or at all), but left me with major messes on my hands. I know, this is part of life for people who experiment with their computers. I can deal with the "this isn't as good as I thought it would be," and "darn it, it didn't work" aspects if that's ALL there is to it, but the big screwups, no way. Yes, 9.2.2 IS much better than 9.1, but 9.1 was still doing what I needed to do. My Macs are not toys to me and as a rule I don't consider it "playtime" or "fun" to have to do things to their OS's or insides unless there's an actual problem that requires it. Quite the opposite, actually. So my reason for being a stick in the mud when it comes to trying something out is the fact that I'm just not much of a risk-taker. <As for 10.3, I've run it on two iMac 400 mHz, two iBooks G4s, and now a B&W 400 mHz. In all cases it's run very well, better than previous versions. Eventually I plan to have enough disks/partitions to run all versions of OS X on my B&W, so for now I just have overall impressions. Also, I'm currently running only at 384 megs on the B&W. For quite some time one of the iMacs went along happily enough at 256 megs of RAM. 256 will do the job, but I wouldn't try running alot of programs at once. The basics, however, like email, web, word processor should do fine.> The processors you mention here are all considerably ahead of mine too. I'm sure that also helps. I have a 266MHz, remember? ;-) ~Yersinia. ________ "Learn from your parents' mistakes - use birth control!" -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
