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

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.
