actually, i use it in the real world and it runs VERY well on the new pbg4

i do have problems connecting with appletalk servers, but expect that the
osx appletalk client is still weak. the server side appletalk is rock
solid. bugfixes will come soon i'm sure.

if you are running classic reformatting with a clean copy of 9.1 will make
things run better. classic is faster than 9.1 native for most things.
better yet get rid of classic and its even faster.
