Re: Which MacOS do you spend most of your time in?
Moof!
I'm in no rush to make the move to X. Aside from the "ooh, ahh, up-to-date" factor, there is simply no compelling reason for the switch just yet.same here.. kind of... my G4 466 is in 9 and my iBook 500 is in X cause my iBook just sits there doing SETI 24/7
Are you running the command-line version of SETI X? If it's just sitting there doing packets, you might as well have it doing it as best as it can.
you bet i am!! CLI all the way!!!

Re: Which MacOS do you spend most of your time in?
Pretty much always in 10 now - only things I use os 9 for are Deus Ex (no X version afaik) and UT (my machine could run it in 10... but I can't get the os X version to work dangit!)
Someone above mentioned QUark - I still don't see why ppl feel compelled to reboot into 9 for it - My copy of Quark 3.32r runs perfectly well in classic.
Yes, I do miss my Kalaidascope themes ( not going to hose my jag system again until someone makes those damnable themes more idiot / os upgrade proof) and the speed with which I used the os.
ON my OCed g4 at school - os X uptimes aren't any better than in 9 ~ two days between freezes on average 
Oh well, the faster feel of 50 more mhz (than 500) makes up for it.
There is some solace in knowing that some things just can't be attained by throwing piles of money at them in the name of corporate greed. --CaptKevMan

Because I don't trust Classic for beans. Back in the day it was a crashaholic, and I haven't used it for anything serious.
When working on 130 pg documents worth $5,000+, I aint riskin' it. 
Edit: Oh yeah. InDesign is sweet! BUT, anymore than 10 pages, and you got yourself a lame duck of an application. Slow isn't the word. Its awsome for smaller documents though. I hope Adobe really optimizes this baby soon. I'd like ot ditch Quark.
