Pavel, have you seen this spoof

http://www.fandango.net/switched.mov

of the "Switcher" commercial where the long-time Mac user says "I
switched my Mac to OS X, and it's, like, where the f**k did my Mac go!"
;-)

If your OS 9 Mac is really stable, don't switch. In my case, however,
OS X has been hugely more stable. It's a treat to have two IDL jobs
crunching away full-speed in the background on a dual-processor Mac and
see *no* impact on the user interface or the 15 other apps I have
running all the time. I don't use idlde, but it runs fine if you want
to. Mac interface plus all the unix goodies (NFS, shell scripts, etc.)

I used the OS X version in our undergrad lab this fall with 50 computer
novices. Machines were very stable and I had few problems.
