Now, I LOVE OSX (10.2.0) and NEVER use OS9. Don't know exactly how it happened, but OSX to me, now, is very simple and a pleasure to use. I will say that 10.2 improved several of the problems i was bitching about: especially the fonts and how they appear on the flat screen 15" imac: MUCH better in 10.2. I think it's just plain hard to let go of a system that you've been using for years: it's like letting go of that damn pair of incredibly comfortable (but falling apart) shoes. You definitely go through the pain in breaking in a new pair, but after awhile, "boy, these really feel great." dale g ===== "In most cases there is no free exercise whatever ... of the moral sense."--Henry David Thoreau "You're dancin' with whom they tell you to or you don't dance at all.
