I can't seem to find Disk Utility on my OS9 startup disk? That's why I ran FirstAid.
You need to boot your OS X startup disk to run Disk Utility.
Yes I booted an external Tiger drive to repair permissions and repair disk.
And . . . was it fast...er than the internal HD or the same?
It shimmers ever so slightly but is kinda annoying.
Yes, that's one of the drawbacks of CRTs and why they're nearly extinct. If you can't get rid of the shimmer by making refresh rate adjustments (meaning it's a hardware problem rather than software), you'll need to find someone who can repair CRTs. I had one that had a bad capacitor once and it was repairable, but these are DANGEROUS to work on because of the high voltages so I'd recommend not doing anything yourself unless you know what you're doing and have the correct tools for discharging the vacuum tube.
