Thanks for the replies everyone!
I've considered Tiger, but then again I won't be able to get a hold of an OS X CD or RAM upgrades until July, so for now I think I'm going to stick with OS 9.2 (probably the best idea w/ 64 MB RAM lol). I didn't mention that I got the trackpad issues fixed.. the cure? When I installed the new battery, for some reason the trackpad stopped acting up. Eventually I'd also like to get a new case bottom, because its all scratched up and has the former school districts initials graved into the bottom (and on top of that, it looks like a four-year-old did it).
The only real problem I'm having sticking to OS 9 is a browser and printing. It's naturally my luck that I got rid of my OS 9 supported printer, and my new printer (All in one scanner/ printer/ etc), doesn't support OS 9. On Apple Support Discussions, some guy was trying to tell me how to set up my iBook connected to my MacBook to print but I didn't really understand what he was telling me, and I never got postscript printing to work. All in all, I'd like to be able to directly print via. usb cable directly to the iBook, but I don't know if thats even possible since the drivers aren't supported.
Browser related, when I last used OS 9 back in elementary school, I remembered it being fast and semi-decent. When I connected my iBook to the internet the other day, loaded IE 5... that kind of shattered my dreams lol. I know of Classila coming out and hopefully that will be a big improvement, but I don't meet the "ram" requirements to run it.. >
. Might try iCab, but then again browsing isn't important to me due to it doesn't have wifi and I'm never around ethernet plug-ins. I did find a work around in some cases, visiting the "mobile" version of websites works well in IE (like m.facebook.com, m.google.com, etc. Lol).
Eventually I'd like to get some upgrades for it, but I don't have the money to invest in it right now. But outside of that, its been a great machine for what I needed it!
