[CUBE] OT: Jaguar on 233mHz iMac

[abillups at mac.com]

My son did his first install of OS 10 beta on one of the original Bondi 
iMacs with 160 MgB of RAM. He kept it on there for the summer before 
the final 10.1 came out just to play around with it.  It ran, but very 
slow. I have since gotten the machine back from him and reformatted and 
reinstalled 9.2.2 and put it in my classroom. I use 10.2.3 on my cube 
and new iBook 700, but not in the classroom, since there is very little 
educational software available for 10 yet. I have a Wallstreet PB 233 
that also ran 10 very, very slowly. From these experiences, I have not 
installed 10 on any G3 machines because it bogs them down.
My husband uses the PB with 9.2.2 installed for email and web surfing, 
and it works just fine.
