[Ham-Mac] Are you running OSX on your Mac ?

[Don Agro]

I'm switching between OS X, OS9 and Classic several times a day on my main
computer and am split about 50-50 between OS X and 9 on the other ones.

My Brother HL-1250 is supported - mostly. But I miss USB printer sharing
under OS 9 which also worked - mostly :)

I'm running Entourage Classic under 9 and X with no difficulty.
The trick with Classic is to have a separate boot partition for Classic and
your main OS 9 System.

Yes - this is a major pain. We just got the first USB Hard Drive driver a
few weeks ago though so I think that there are still a lot of drivers yet to
come from the 3rd parties.

This is working fairly well for me.

My Kodak DC240 is supported both by ImageCapture and by iPhoto - just
ordered my first Kodak prints through iPhoto "one-click"  - Fabulous
feature.

I am running MacDopplerPRO on both OS 9 and X and the older ATI cards run it
faster in 3D under OS 9, but the newer nVidia cards run MUCH faster on X.

The ATI cards seem to have better QD3D performance (OS 9) while the newer
nVidia cards have better OpenGl accceleration.

While some of the older applications are slower on OS X, file operations
like Finder copies are unbelievably fast on X compared to 9.
