That is why I hang with Mac People!
Nowhere else can you find snark and arrogance this off-the-cuff. None of that "Be nice and respectful" crap one must endure in the Linux forums!
But seriously, the usefulness of this article is in its advice to update the system files, when they have bloated/gone-wrong. Nowhere else have I found (after being on OS9 for 15 years) this advice, and when you start running into "can't initiate
Interface-lib..." errors, the typical advice is to do a complete reinstall.
At our studio, we have a beige G3 that still runs software for an Alto film scanner (used for movie theatre slides) and this system has run un-rebuilt for 12+ years on 8.6. But our other vintage work-station that runs legacy apps from OS9 (a G4 MDD) practically needs to have OS9 reworked every 4-5 times it gets used (is so bad we have gotten into the habbit of just recopying the system to the drive every month or so - current work is saved and restored with Applescript).
OS9.2.2 is very buggy, compared to 8.6, and it is nice to finally find some acknowledgment of that fact, and actual solutions to the problem, since some apps demand this last p!$$-poor version of Classic OS.
