>>I am curious on how long on average it takes to have the OS up and running on various Mac Os's from recent years. Has it changed dramatically in recent years(6-8yrs.) considering the changes in Apple OS?<< Don - Boot-up times for OS 9 were highly dependent upon the number of extensions one elected to load. More extensions meant longer boot times. However, OS 9 by itself booted faster than OS X does. I would also say that more recent versions of OS X have gotten faster, relative to the first version, though I don't have hard data to back that subjective observation up. - Allen

Has it changed dramatically in recent years(6-8yrs.) No. But a stripped 9 will boot a little faster than a stripped X which will, in my guess, boot faster than W2K or XP. W2K numerous boot windows and fake progress bars are annoying. X is way solid though. Way nicer than any other OS. I'm still annoyed by the dock but otherwise it's beautiful OS. Linux is second best. Windows is the worst.
