Your comment prodded me to take a closer look at my computer and its compatibility with 9.2. The system profiler says macintosh 9500 series(model name). Does that mean that i do Not have an apple shipped G3? Excuse my lame questions but i'm just a moron seeking help. So i have 9.1 now. Will I ever be able to upgrade to 9.2 or even X?
