OS 9 seems fine. I thought there might be a Java update or something. The 9.2.2 install CD I have came with my 2004 eMac, so it's probably as updated as OS 9 gets. I can live without iPod support under OS 9. ;) I couldn't get it to work with 10.0 DP, but initially I was having other problems with my hard drive, so it might have been that. I'll try it again in the future.

On the 10.4 side, I finished the install and updates last night. I forgot that there are sooooooo many Java updates. On this 400mhz machine 10.4 sometimes seems a little sluggish. I know there are a few adjustments I can make to lessen the load. I remember reading several tips, but I can't find them. Here's what I remember:

  • Turn off Dashboard
    Turn off Spotlight
    Turn off graphic effects (drop shadows, etc) to speed up the finder (silverfox?)


Any instructions as how to change those or any other pointers would be great. Also, I thought that all the updates that I just applied are stored locally. Anyone know where they're at?

I installed TenFourFox under OS X and Classilla under OS 9. Classilla has come a long way since I last used it. Seems very stable despite the warning on the front page.
