So your talking about an OS that is no longer sold when you say "I find Macs incredibly annoying for lacking a taskbar."

Maybe you should say I find macs pre 1999 incredibly annoying for lacking a taskbar..

BTW MacOS pre-X was crap, Ill agree with you on that anytime..

Now N3WBI3...I've seen many post by you where you slam windows 2000 and it's not even supported much longer. I don't know when OS9 came out, so it may be quite a bit older than 2000 though.

While pre-OSX MacOS had problems, for a long time (at least until Windows95) it was still better than Windows. I worked in a college computer lab through the early 1990s and I could understand and respond to almost any Mac problem that a student had verbally and they'd understand how to fix their problem (unless they were particularly dense) but I couldn't understand or solve a single Windows problem that way. Even if I understood the problem they were describing, I couldn't tell them how to fix it without worrying that they'd mess it up and make things even worse. Basically, the Macs had a handful of common and predictable problems that were easy to fix while the Windows machines could just be messed up in too many ways to keep track of. Of course I pretty much jumped from MacOS to Linux at that point and them jumped back after the iMac, iBook, and OSX.
