I can understand why you are still using OS 9 if your only experience 
w/ X is w/ 10.1.x 10.2 is what tied up a lot of those "loose ends" I 
wouldn't recommend upgrading to 10.2 at this point though since 10.3 is 
imminent. I ended up buying a new mac that had 10.2 on it - just the 
speedup would've been worth it though (as long as you were using a 
machine w/ a good enough video card). Now I'm facing that same upgrade 
price (I wish they'd pick a bit lower number I admit) for Panther and 
I'll probably pony it up - not because I'm "moneyed rich" (I work for a 
NPO for Pete's sake) but because I see a value in the additional 
features (and the fact that Apple will soon slow rolling out the 
patches for 10.2) Also, many of the best new free apps you can get from 
Apple are 10.2+ only. I'm not for blindly switching things either, but 
I'm also against blindly staying put.

So, how do you all like the "new" list? am I the only one getting 
through? How about some traffic to test it??
