Stability of 9.1 vs 9.2 ?

Hi Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions/experiences on the relative stability of OS 9.1 vs 9.2 ? I am new to using OS 9. I have been running OS 8.6 on my beige G3 and other Power Macs with great reliability and stability. I recently purchased a 14.1 iBook 600 MHz, 256MB and cannot seem to g

Video over ethernet

I've been looking at piping video over ethernet around the house. I played with VideoLAN but it doesn't have a sever that runs under OS9. Anyone got any recommendations for software that will do this (to a few "clients" on various platforms?) Running a QuickTime server is a little overkill (a

Changing short user name in OS X

Hi All! Just a quick question for the morning! Can you change the short user name in OS X? I can change everything else bar this! I don't want to create another user, as the user has already customised a fair chunk of OS X to suit her own tastes. I have had a search on the Knowledge Base, but no
