Also, some programs need the extra security features of 9.2.2 and won't run under 9.2.1 or older. Case in point, MSN Messenger 2.5.1. Won't work on anything older. Granted, few people use it, but, those of us who do, have also discovered a more responsive Finder.>
I definitely agree with you about the speed and responsiveness of 9.2.2, but 8.6 being fast, no, sorry. At the advice of the Powerbook list, I updated my 5300c from 8.5 to 8.6 and the only advantage I got was being able to use Appleworks 6 (I wanted to do that because AW 6 is what I use on the G3). It makes my life a lot easier to be able to use the same version of Appleworks on both Macs now so I don't regret the update, but OS 8.6 doesn't boot any faster than 8.5 did, and the Finder isn't any snappier either. ~Yersinia. ________ "Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.
