Hi, Personally I would say that until she's ready to get new applications that run in OS X, I'd stay in 9. The things that I have that still run in OS 9 tend to bog things down while I'm in OS X, and there appears to be some unusual things that happen when I have an app open in 9 and one in X. Things like windows not drawing completely or dialog boxes that are blank. If I hadn't gotten MS Office X (in which I do the VAST majority of my work), I think I'd still be using 9. Don't get me wrong, though, I LOVE OS X.
