I am using OSX because My third-party Enet card demands OSX. I have used 9 quite a bit, but most of My experience was with 6.0.8 and 7.6.1, which I prefer.
When I click something in OSX, 1) It works (<10%), 2) A menu gets in between the mouse click and the object being clicked---this requires three MORE clicks to correct (plus two more clicks for each repeat menu). Sometimes the menu selects itself, almost always with disastrous results. "Undo", of course, doesn't!, or 3) I just have to click it again (repeat up to two hundred times!).
Then, OSX spends about twenty percent of My time swirling. Rhyme: "You're swirling, you're swirling/You make Me feel like hurling!"
In general, OSX is a barrier to smooth work which six, seven, and even nine were not. It does do some nifty things, as does (do?) Microsoft Windows, but the cost is too high for Me!
BTW: 7.6.1 is the last of the System-7 family, and is much better than the weirdness-plagued 7.5 series. I now use OSX 3.9 on a 0733MHz G4. 7.6.1 on a Quadra 840AV [40MHz 68040] runs faster! Ah, Progress!!:-)

Thank you for this information. I am not used to dealing with THIS kind of shell problem! (Ah!, if only someone smart were writing My scripts...)
