I don't agree, Tee, and neither does Eric:

I bought an OEM version of OS 9 for the G4 at Mac Outpost yesterday. 
I erased and reinstalled the OS 9 partition and things are much 
better now.

And I am also glad I reformatted the OS 10 partition of the drive. 
Glad I was able to buy the CDs from you, Tee.

It's working much better thanks to the reformatting.
