Re: OS options for Lombard 400, is 9.2.1 better than 9.2.2

I may re-install OS9 on my Lombard 400 since it's been more prone to freezing than in the past. I've also installed Quicktime 6 which I've heard may cause problems. I tried going into Open Firmware and re-setting nvram mostly just to see how it worked. I didn't even know I had OF on this computer till I saw it mentioned here. Anyway if I decide to re-install is there any reason to go to 9.2.2? I seem to recall doing it so the installer for a Skyline wireless card would run but since I'm no longer using that card I could stop at 9.1.1. I certainly don't think OS9 is dead, it still does everything I want to including e-bay and paypal. I imagine at some point I'll want an application that requires X (Or I'll replace the Lombard with something that comes with X). Either way I'm in no hurry to climb that learning curve until I have to. After all my really important data is on a DOS 5.0 palmtop that has locked up less than half a dozen times in the last 12 years. It's not powerful, it's not sophisticated, it's certainly not state of the art but it works, it's too stupid to harbor malware and it's stone ax reliable. -- Andrew in Ann Arbor technology is the answer, what was the question? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

OS 9 is terrific when you want to play Marathon as well, which sucks under Classic.
