We'll all tell you different things, there, but fo the mid-nineties PowerMacs and PPC-like machines I really like OS 8.1. Nothin' snazzy, just quick and responsive. I use it in my C500, StarMax 4000, PPC 8500, PPC 7300. It just seems to wring some extra speed out of the architecture for me. Jeff -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
