Zane;

I am most curious to know what it is that you do such that OS 9 was  
more stable for you and why you prefer it to OS X pre-emptive  
multitasking?

I know that machines can behave differently depending on what they're  
used for...I know that I had my fill of those little exploding bomb  
ball dialogue boxes which the computer could sometimes barely draw,  
when I'd get a system bomb...which would be several times a day some  
days...
