Quite a statement! But simply not true. I think you are the one who needs a
new brain. 

I have had all versions of 10 from the preview to Panther on this iBook 466
SE and since 10.1 I have not seen any reason to boot back into OS9.

The fun thing is that with the new preview in Panther, I scroll PDF's faster
on my iBook  than I do on my work 2.4 GHz Pentium IV. Exposé works great
too. 60 windows+ are aligned in less than 2 seconds etc.

On the other hand, if you try to install something like 10.1 on a beige 233
with 64MB of RAM, you are bound to feel that it works slow. I do on mine.
But if it is for a server does it matter if an application opens in 4 or 20
seconds? For me it is much more important on that machine that I can just
let it work and work and work, and now the uptime is 169 days.

I would not want to try that with OS9 or earlier.

To paraphrase you, anyone with a brain should be able to figure out if it is
stability or apparent speed that matters.

Cheers,

Kim
