[G4] Still using OS 9.1 on my G4-400 mhz.

[Daniel Brieck Jr.]

Thats is a great idea, one that apple would probably recommend  
themselves. Getting new /newer computer then migrating overtime all  
of your work to the new hardware and software.  Yes, that is a good  
idea, buy yourself  a newer machine and use it as a opportunity to  
upgrade both the hardware and the operating system while still  
keeping you older G4 and all of its OS 9 software for other work. So  
yes buy the newest computer you can afford.  I made a jump from a G4  
500 MHz to a G4 867MHz and the difference is very noticeable  
performance wise.
