Horses for courses! I earn my living with my OS X machines. I'd be mad not to do so. You can believe that OS X is therefore my work OS of preference. That doesn't in any way diminish my appreciation of Systems 6 to 7, or OSs 7 to 9, on the Macs that were designed to run them. If my IIci/50MHz/128MB could support Tiger I should still not run Tiger on it, but OS 7.6.1 does very well indeed. On a 40MHz '040 IIci, OS 7.6.1 screams. Tiger runs better on a G4/MDD/DP, and that's the size and extent of it. I will not run OS 9.1 on even an upgraded 1400/G3/400MHz when a 9600/G4/800MHz runs 9.2.2 far better. I understand well enough that members of this Army with fewer Macs may wish to experiment, and even to try to push the boundaries of their Macs, but I have no need to do so. As one result of that policy, I have fewer cases of little people turning to me with stubbed toes and skinned knees when they can't deal with their system's demands.
