Actually, in the long run 9.2.1 has been more of a head-ache for me than 9.1
or 9.0.4 ever were. 9.2.1 isn't as stable under OS X as 9.1. There are major
problems with screen redraws that didn't exist in 9.1 (I regularly have to
re-start Classic because I don't see anything), and drag-and-drop causes
Classic to come to a grinding halt. Sometimes it works (in 9.1 you couldn't
drag and drop between Classic and OS X apps) but oftentimes it crashes when
dragging something (especially in Outlook Express).

I can't comment on its stand-alone stability as I only run OS 9 on its own
when I run my AppleScripts (I have the computer turn itself on and gather
data in the middle of the night... I don't trust OS X not to muck things up
yet). OS X is my primary OS 95%+ of the time now.
