PS OS 9.x is a much nicer and very stable OS as compared to OS 8.6, so
much so that on the
occasional crash I would noticed I would have *lots* more running
applications than I ever did in
os 8.x. I'd suggest upgrading to that if hardware issues etc prevent
migration to os-x.
I saw the user interface in MacOS 9 and recoiled in horror and disgust.
I've had plenty of opportunity to use MacOS 9; in fact I'll be using it
during a lecture tomorrow. However, I have never enjoyed the experience.
For what it's worth, I have far *worse* problems with Squeak on MacOS 9.
The machine in question is a G3 laptop of some kind. I copied the
entire Squeak 3.5 folder across, including the distribution image
and my modified image.
In MacOS 9, clicking on my modified image gave me a completely blank
window (which it should not have). Clicking on the distribution image
gave me a couple of brush-strokes of Squeaky and an emergency evaluator
(some problem in BitBlt, I think.) However, clicking on the VM and then
selecting my modified image gave me exactly what I wanted to see.
As long as I have experiences like that with MacOS 9, there is no
way I am going to "upgrade".
