I would suggest you read it a while and then decide. I use OS X some on a 9500 with a G3 upgrade and quite a bit of memory. I installed it using XPostFacto, mentioned elsewhere. It seems to work as well or better than OS 9.1, for many things, and gives me an opportunity to learn the merits of the new system in anticipation of getting a newer Mac. I also use it more extensively on a PB G-3 "Pismo" (firewire) model, and -- most recently -- on a Rev. A iMac. It is worth the effort, unless you plan to stop using Macs altogether in the near future! (IMHO) The list for older Macs using OS X is "Unsupported OS X" and you can find the list info here: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Jim Dwyer Munich, Germany Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
