i too prefer the OS 9 to the X. I use an MDD to surf the web and a Sawtooth with OS 9.2 for most everything else. This is home use and the ClarisWorks 5.0 is as good as anything out there. Why? Because i know how to use it.
Bailey >> How long did it take the rest of you old stubborn Legacy die-hards? > > ~Yersinia. well, not dead yet - not at all actually my main workhorse is a 10 year old beige g3 solely running 9.2.2 it's a happy life and when I soon will have to replace the old beige, it will be with a g4 model that can boot 9 been planning that for a while now, and my first thoughts was to have a dual boot machine with both 9 and x but having a powerbook with tiger available for some months now, has made me change my mind - the tasks I need an x machine for are so few, that I wouldn't bother rebooting. also I find x so clumsy and slow, and a lot of apps acts so much not maclike, that I'd go nuts if I had to work with x for serious stuff on a daily basis so, whenever a website doesn't behave in my ancient browsers (and I absolutely have to access it), or I have to connect with ssh, I just turn to the powerbook, get the job done, and then turn back to good ole 9, where everything is right at my fingertips, and is fast don't hate me :-) /tina --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
