[thelist] [OT] upgrading Mac from OS9 to OSX, thoughts?

[Benjer]

For quark (4/5) and acrobat I would agree with previous posts - horrid in
OSX in fact unusable. Also to run classic you would need lots of ram
installed for best performance.

I'd stick to 9 as it looks like you've decided. For the correct upgrade path
there used to be an extensive list on wwww.macfixit.com - unfortunatley they
moved to a paying service (they served the community well though) but they
still have great advice in their forum section.

this is the 9.2.2 forum

http://www.macfixitforums.com/php/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=OS92

just have a browse/search for upgrade.

Good luck.

Ben
