I heavily depend on ICC profiles for my workflow in my business fine art
reproduction. Is it time to switch to OSX, or stick with 9.2.2. I run dual
1gig G4.

Hi Steve,
In the fine art department you notice some gains: there are days,
even weeks, where I have forty, fifty, sixty-plus files open complete
all at once with histories, layers, channels, etc. Not to mention
hitting enter on a large transform and then flipping into another
application while it executes. The multi-task is a key factor. Not
having to adjust memory is nice too.
I've only restarted four or five times since last June - one bomb,
four installs of updates that required a restart. The bomb, I might
add, was self-induced.
I still use Classic a lot and am just getting ready to upgrade to
OS10.2 from 10.1.5. Getting used to Unix thinking on a Mac is still a
twist: I still like the old Phillips 'terminal' approach for some
reason, but after a few months and getting around a few twists and
turns (classic monitor setup defaults to genericRGB etc and has to be
reset etc) you begin to wonder how you ever did without it.
Be prepared for SCSII chain troubleshooting. But for me the gains
outweigh the nays.
You can always reStart in OS9 if you get in a jam you don't have time
to deal with. Nice option for the transition phase.
