Not worth ha'penny on this occasion Mike... :) First you don't *have to* to update anything if you do go to X because of two things: 1. You can still boot in 9 for many "newer macs" (compared to the 8500) 2. You can run most pre X software in X in a special program called Classic. The big advantage is speed of bus even in 9, and access to modern browsers in X. But I agree that one can continue fine with 9 for quite a while...
