Exclamation LimeWire Not Ready For Mac III

Many thanks to all who viewed my first thread regarding LW, and for the helps they offered! I am running a Mac G4, Mac OS 9.1, 640mb RAM, 20 and 15mb hardrives. As I had stated in my first and second threads, I have experienced freezes and crashes due to corruption of Remote Access, Desktop, and Finder files after LW has been installed for a short period of time. Installation of LW is smooth and flawless! But after a short time (hrs.)
big problems arise. Again, I would like to restate that I think LW is a great app. aimed at replacing Napster for many MP3 officianado's. And my needs are the same as theirs. However, think about what some of you are telling me to do to solve the problems I am having!! LW 1.4b was released to run on Mac OS 9.1. So it should run on Mac OS 9.1 and run very well!!!! If Mac OS X is as good as it's supporters purport it to be, then why did Apple release it with an accompanying copy of Mac OS 9.1 and the option to go back to 9.1? Think!! Mac OS X, in the short time it has been released, has experienced 3 updates, to me that is too much too soon! This is "the operating system" the heart of your system, there shouldn't be so many problems with this level of software!!! I'm sure that it will eventually be the best operating system ever created for Mac, but jumping into a new OS is not the answer for LW's problems. I do plan on upgrading to OS X in the future. From the sounds of things cosmetically the program is great, but functionally it is lacking, so I prefer to take a "wait and see approach" right now! I don't think that investing ?$129.95 in OS X to run a free app. is the way to go! As a matter of fact I would be more willing to pay $20 to $30 dollars for LimeWire when it is fully developed! Excuse me for being "old-fashioned" but sometimes I think it is true that "nothing really good comes free"! And besides, I feel that the LW developers deserve something for their work! The general computer community out there needs to demand software that is more fully developed and tested before release for use!!! Raise your standards. Don't drop your guard!
