If I missed a reason let me know (like new > hardware that will only work with the new OS, cant afford a new machine, > etc). Now.......That is an excellent question!! Why "force-feed" an OS on a Mac that was never intended to use it. My G4 Sawtooth/400 w/1 Gig of RAM and a 60 Gig HD runs like silk with 10.3.2 (much faster than 10.2.8)!! I also have a Lombard/400mhz, iMac 333mhz, Beige G3 (G4/500 Sonnet), 7600-G3/500 Sonnet, and a 6500-G3/400 (Sonnet L2 card). The only one I'm considering installing 10.3.2 on would be the Lombard (512mb RAM). All the others will stay at a very stable OS 9.2.2. I love speed as much as the next person.....but I value stability even more! Mikie
