>Ouch. OS9 was noticeably faster than 8.1, and X is (as you've >undoubtedly heard) a bit slower. OSX isn't *that* slow though.
Actually it was pretty snappy when I had 128MB, but since I've upgraded to 576 I've noticed that booting is very slow. I'll live with slowness of X though for the increased stability. The reason I never upgraded was that when I bought the G3, the "next gen OS" was "just around the corner" and being a poor college grad I've decided to hold off on the upgrades until I found a sweet spot. Jaguar is the sweet spot. In the meantime, I've been scrounging old equipment to learn Linux and NetBSD with. :) Tim -- Tim Larson <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< Info.
