OS 3.9 - worth it?
« on: January 23, 2004, 09:22:45 PM »
I know most are awaiting the possible release of OS4 but I am someone who takes a while to catch up with the latest goings on.  Consequently, I am currently pondering a change from 3.1 to 3.9.  I was wondering whether it is worth it - what extra features does it have? For instance, are the internet tools ones that you would actually use or just average ones that do the job?  Are there any significant changes?  Also, is there the option to install it as an upgrade or does it have to be a clean start?  I have quite a lot of things on my Workbench partition and wouldn't particularly relish the task of re-installing them all!  However, if the OS was a sufficient upgrade then I would.   So, for a semi-serious user who has CDROM, is it worth upgrading?  Both sides of argument would be interesting :-)

Thanks for two comprehensive answers.

@Lempkee
Indeed you do!  And I shall follow your advice once more.  Come payday, I shall upgrade and I look forward to screaming that I love it ;-)

Are the "Boing Bags" on the same CD or are they extras I should buy?

@itix
You seem to be on your own in suggesting that it is not worth it and, whilst you put forward a very compelling argument, I must admit that I am still more tempted to side with those who recommend 3.9 :-P

Seriously, though, are there any major disadvantages?
