Been using OS X for about a month now and I must take back what I had said earlier about all OS 9 applications working flawlessly (FreeHand 9 crashes) and no speed degradation (OS 9 IS noticably snappier). What was I thinking?! Well I had only been using OS X for about 3 days when I made those comments. I must have been overly excited by the whole new range of applications and the Unix command line. OS X is still very usable and robust but it and many applications for it need tweaking. Indeed, many OS X applications I'm running now are beta versions. I am disappointed that Apple would charge so much (US$129) for the next upgrade to version 10.2 (Jaguar). That's undoubtedly too much to charge for what I consider to be a lot of bug-fixes to the system. Sorry if I mislead anyone out there. (I only have 1 reader, so probably not!)
