Aside from what Johannes mentioned (all true, btw) you get Sherlock 2, which is quite an improvement, a bunch of system/usability enhancements, and compatability with lot of newer software that needs OS 9. My computer guy swears that 9.0.4 is the best, though if you're looking to run OS X, it will need to be 9.1 or 9.2. I think that iTunes may only work with OS 9 or newer, and that's a pretty worthwhile program. The only software that consistently freezes my system is Realaudio. I should think OS 9 should be sufficiently responsive on a 300Mhz G3, but have plenty of RAM--at *least* 128 megs. Doug
