I've got System 8, ready to install but I want to avoid potential bugs. I
use Pagemaker 6.5, Freehand 5/7, Photoshop 3/4.
Any troubles out there so far? Any software patches you know of for bugs
that may already be known?

Hey, we were all waiting for YOU to install first, so you could tell US if
there are any bugs in OS 8!

I have been using os8 for about 3 weeks and its great, no probs so far
bar 1 extension clash on 1 mac so keep 7.6's system folder handy.
Suitcase has an update to run better but I dont have it and it still
runs fine but alas in true mac style we now have system 8.1
Good luck

I know it exists but I can't remember where...
Someone has a website that lists all of the conflicts with programs and System
8.
I just received mine yesterday and look forward to installing it.I just need to
know which programs I have that could be in conflict.

Please email: myst...@aol.com

What's the scoop on this? I hadn't heard of it.

8.1 is in testing and will not be released until later this winter--likely
December or January. Someone jumped the gun a bit with the above
statement.

You can find some of the latest speculation on the contents of 8.1
