**chuckle** I upgraded from OS9.0 on my Powermac G4 to OSX because of the daily crashes I was enduring. Some sort of extensions conflict, I suspected, but I could never pinpoint the problem. OSX was slow, clunky with only 128mb of RAM, I could never get my Appletalk network to function, and I could only print from Classic apps, but it NEVER crashed. I upgraded to X.1 last week. It's much faster, I have my Appletalk back and just as stable. I love it. I still can't print from OSX apps on my old Stylewriter 1200 (connected to my Powermac 6500 and accessed through Appletalk) but I'm almost ready for a new printer anyway. All I need now is more memory. My wife, OTOH, has a G3 Powerbook running OS9.0 and it never crashes. She loves it. -- Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
