How about that 9.2x though? I mean, is that some stable or what? This 
is the best 'classic' type OS I think they've come out with in a long 
time..... With 9.1, I used to crash some 4-5 times a day, while 
admittedly being majorly loaded w/extensions beyond, what many would 
consider a 'basic, clean running system.'
