That's interesting: how does OS X speed compare to OS 9.2 on either of those machines that you mentioned? The early reviews on OS X painted it as quite a slow beast, especially wrt the new Finder.
The last OS 9 I used full time was 9.1. 10.0 was quite slow -- no argument there. But 10.1 is quite fast enough for me. And relative slowness compared to 9 is more than compensated by its far superior stability.
And I don't think I could ever again use a computer without the Unix functionality.

Er...I have been running OS X on G3s (iBook SE and iMac 350) since 3/24/2001 when the OS hit the stores.
It may be slow compared to a G4 but it's quite useable.
I have used Linux on PCs before and OS X leaves Linux in its dust in the useablity department.
Use Lynx like I do and nobody gets ad sales.
