Interesting opinion. I thought the word on the street was that 8.6 was the most stable Mac OS there is. I certainly thought so until it hit my Sonnet CPU upgrade. You take a speed and RAM hit with 9.x, but honestly, after the first day, you don't notice it much. PhotoShop 6 will notice the RAM, though. If you run 9.1 with Word 6/98, you lose keystroke macros and since MS wants to sell you Office 2001 or X, they aren't going to issue a fix. You may not ever use these, but I did for common scanner mistakes -- one key and rn became m, etc. As far as iTunes is concerned, with only a 1 GB HD, you won't have much of a music library on your computer anyway. All in all, with only 133, I would stay with some flavor of 8. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
