[Hidden-tech] MAC Questions about switch to OS X from OS 9

[Tom Adams- Reelife Productions]

I am sorry to say operating  OS9 (classic) and OS10 simultaneously is  
a very dark and ugly place to be.  I tormented myself for a few  
months and then decided to just go with a full upgrade and bought a  
used dual processor G4... once I did this I have never EVER had any  
problems...and have never looked back instead of a love hate  
relationship with my computer..I have a love, love relationship (ew,  
that kinda' sounds a little freaky, huh?)

anyway, if money is the issue (and when is it NOT?)...I'd suggest a  
macmini.  You owe it to your self to not get mired in the OS 9 vs.  
OS10 morass.
A properly configured mac is a beautiful thing ...why put off the  
inevitable?

or at least, I highly recommend you upgrade to the most recent OS  
10.4.9...

excuse my ranting..it's just that I feel your pain...  just my two  
cents.
