I agree, to a point. I've only got two machines, but my experience was mixed. My Cube was much, much faster after installng 9.2.1-- for a while Then slowly, over a period of days, it bogged down-- Startup times increased from 1.5 minutes to 3 minutes+, and app launches got slower, too, with...

did I stump the band? CV

You got a phone line handy? you could always just set up a new location in the Location Manager, and use it to dial up to your home account from your work machine. It'd take a few minutes to set up, but that'd probably do the trick. CV

I say unless you're running OS X, revert to 9.1. There's no benefit to 9.2.1, unless you're using it for classic mode under OS X. I had problems on my Cube with 9.2.1, and had to revert. Now, I've got two partitions-- one with 9.1 for booting directly into 9, and another with OS X and...

This won't help your current situation, but.... Tech Tool pro has a "trash cache" feature, whereby, once it's activated, all you have to do to recover acidentally deleted files is open the trash cache window in the Tech Tool control panel and drag the file back to the desktop. Pretty...

Is it just me? 1.W on't mount a disk image of an audio cd. 2. Can't drag an audio CD icon into the toast window. 3. I can open the disk folder and drag the individual songs, but it goes through this long, drawn-out process of "converting" the files to .aif files, which I thought they were...

I've been trying to pare down my usual set of extensions from OS 9, so that Classic will launch faster, and use less memory. I few things are obvious, like the iTunes extension, since there's an OS X version of iTunes, but other things confuse me. Do I need my ATI video drivers? What about...

I think there's quite a few of us here, now. I'll be happy when they get it up and running, but I 'll probably stick around here, too. CV

Or at least move the ability to set access for external users from Net Info Manager to the Users control panel. The biggest roadblock i've come across in OS X has been trying to configure access for my other Macs, via ethernet. I figured it out, eventually, by reading forums, and surfing...

I had the same problem the first couple times I rebooted into 9.2, but I rebuilt the directories using Disk Warrior (apparently worth the money) and rebuilt the desktop on the next restart, and the problem went away permenantly. I didn't have to go through guessing games with extensions...

MacNN isn't going to "go bye bye," I don't think. There's over 20,000 registered users, and probably the biggest Mac brain-trust on the web. This site's nice, but there's more questions here than answers. Even if they lose 1,000 members permenantly because of this outage, they'll recover...

Happy with speed here, too. I'm running most of my main apps (Adobe) in classic, still, and it's running just the same as OS 9 did, with one major ecxeption-- NO CRASHES! I booted into OS X on Wednesday afternoon, launched classic, (G4 450 AGP) and my machine's been up since then, without...
