Are you sure you want to go to MacOS 9? The question would be how many of
your old apps won't work. I'm lucky enough to have one of the first
G4/450's that came with MacOS 8.6/G4, and that's where it's sitting at least
until 10 comes out. I don't see any reason to move off 8.6 for 9 and it
breaks stuff I need (namely eXodus, which I don't want to pay to upgrade).

For that matter my 8500/180 is still sitting at 8.1 with no plans to move it
off of that. I think my PB540c is sitting at 7.1.x. The question is which
version of the OS best suits the way that you're using the system.

I'm still undecided as to weather I'll even bother upgrading the G4 off of
8.6/G4 to 10. However, I probably will for the Unix layer and the ability
to use NFS. One real important question is to find out what kind of
X-Windows software will be available. I think it's Tenon will have a Beta
of thier Xserver as soon as the OSX beta is publically available.
