 Should You Upgrade To Mac OS 9.1? (TheiMac.com)
<http://www.theimac.com/articles/categories/features/story397.shtml>
What you use your computer for now, and what you hope to use it for in the future, best determines when/if to upgrade your system software when a major upgrade comes out. And OS 9.1 is a major upgrade—requiring the download of 15 files of 3-4 MBs each! If your internet connection isn’t DSL, cable or faster, that’s a LOT of dial-in time.

 Rune (Applelinks.com)
<http://www.applelinks.com/reviews/rune.shtml>
The developers at Human Head know how to make a good game. They've conjured a decent story, surrounded it with lush environments, and punched it up with "whirlwind" combat. You won't lie in bed at night trying to figure out how to get to the next area of Rune, but getting to that area will keep you out of bed.

 Premiere 6.0 (DV.com)
<http://www.dv.com/magazine/2001/0101/capria_premiere60101.html>
Every Premiere 5.1 user will definitely want this upgrade because it simply works better in many ways. Windows users looking for an inexpensive or additional editing solution will be impressed. Premiere is still not ready for the heavy lifting of large, complex projects, so Final Cut Pro still gets my nod as the Mac software-only solution. But Premiere 6 significantly narrows Final Cut Pro's lead.
