And the question of OSes

I have a partition for 7.6.1, 8.1 and 8.6. While 8.6 will run pretty 
much all modern programs like macromedia suites and adobe stuff it 
tends to make mine drag in the finder. 7.6 really flies. You can 
install the Carbon Lib parts of 9.1 to improve preformance, but I'm 
going to ask someone more knowledgeable to post a little bit about that.

PS, as a courtest to the folks who do digest mode, when replying please 
delete the bottom ad information. We all get it by default, but keeping 
it in your responses really lengthens the messages. Plus it save 
sbandwidth.
