Yes os9 never ever crashed on me and I used to hammer out edits on avid in it for hours and hours and hours, the system would be rock solid, unlike today when I use final cut and it decides to quit half way through doing something and etc. etc., when osx cam eout I thought and still think it looks like a kids toy, although it probably is an amazing operating system it still sucks.
- You cannot make an argument that OS9 was more stable.CyBrain

OS 8.6 was the most stable of the dark days.

Speaking of command line,
Photoshop CL (Command Line) is the best:
I'm all like:c:\photoshop\> start magic wand
c:\photoshop\> select object perimeter "square"
c:\photoshop\> end magic wand
c:\photoshop\> fill selection "#CCCCCC"
c:\photoshop\> save for web "square; qaulity:60"
