Since I started working at home and doing consulting I've also had the time and reason to upgrade my G3 Mac to OS X. It went much better than I expected and I ended up with much more than I expected. Who would have thought a few years ago that I'd be running top on a Mac? So far the only bad surprise is that my older serial port printer won't work in the new setup, but if I re-boot using OS 9 as the startup (it's odd, but there are really two OS's on my Mac: OS 10.1 and 9.2) then I can use the old printer and other programs/hardware which might otherwise be confused by the new OS X. Hats off to the Apple developers, they did a sweet job!
