Tiger and OS9 warning
Alice Wang over at Techie Geeky Mac Stuff reports on a serious problem with booting to OS9 on a Mac with Tiger installed. Presumably this only applies if you performed an upgrade install of Tiger. If like me you erased your hard disk and did a clean install then, well, no need to worry - you don't have OS9 on your drive anyway.

Hello Tim! I believe this laptop booting into OS 9 issue may be a random event resulting from ???.
In my latest adventure in upgrading my G4 desktop to Tiger, OS 9 was the only system that could reliably be booted into. Go figure.
At this point upgrading (even the archive and install option), is so dicey and random due to hardware and software differences, the obvious method is to do a clean install.

Hi Alice thanks for dropping by! 
I had similar problems with an upgrade install, so much so that after 2 weeks I erased everything and installed Tiger from scratch 
Everything was much faster and iSync worked again afterward.
