What do you guys think of MacOS 9? Worth the upgrade. Currently I'm considering it, but I don't see much of a benefit for single user systems. Great for computer labs or in the workplace, but what the heck am I gonna use multiple logins for? :)
The other problem is OS X is coming out sometime before next summer. Don't know if I could get two whole OS upgrades passed by the financial committee (my wife) within a single year's time. :)
