Ken, I'm just not experiencing the crashes you are with OS X, but then I do make sure I do regular maintenance on my machines (but I also did this with OS 9), and I did a "Clean Install" with Jaguar. These are development machines also, not web servers. I can agree with you on the time differential for running DiskWarrior on OS X vs. OS 9 thought. I ran it last night, starting about 7:00 p.m., and it didn't complete until about 2:30 this morning. Don't know if you saw this, but DiskWarrior 3 preorders are being taken at: http://alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/diskwarrior3info.html They do say there has been a dramatic speed improvement. I hope it's true.
