I agree with you that if its not broke don't fix it but we had no option if we wanted to continue with CE but to get a dual system of 9/X. The only other advantages I see in System X are Dashboard (London and US time and the stock market), the Dictionary (being slightly better), the Dock (ability to expand/decrease size and placement on desktop), with the greatest improvement being Spotlight - but that seems to be it as far as I can tell :( >
I think we may be misunderstanding each other here. For one thing, I don't have cable. I'm using my Safari (and CE ;-D) on the same DIALUP connection I've had since 1996. What I don't get is why, on the same dialup connection, Safari surfs way faster than iCab or Netscape ever did on either OS 8 or OS 9. Also, there's nothing at all complicated about my setup -- I'm using a dual system of 9/X too. I have two HDs: Tiger, my OS X drive, and my OS 9 drive who I call Nucleus. Tiger came with the Quicksilver. Nucleus came from my Beige, transferred immediately into the Quicksilver. Because of the fact that Nucleus had all my "stuff" on it, I continue to use the apps and work with the data from there -- the only difference is that most of the time, now I do it booted from Tiger in OS X Classic Mode. ~Yersinia. ________ "When a man talks dirty to a woman, it's sexual harassment.
