Problems With Logic Options

[Beatom]

I have recently purchased the Logic Big Box. I am using it with an Evolution MIDI USB keyboard to control audio instruments. While I have massively enjoyed using Logic for composing and am delving into the delights of virtual instruments, I am continuously frustrated by the lack of stabilitity of the program under OS9.2

Can anyone recommend a method for improving stability of the program (mainly a problem with loading)? I have a pretty souped up Ti powerbook and new iMac so processing power/hard disk space isnt a problem.

Also, the program has just recently spontaneously decided not to receive midi in from the USB keyboard. I didnt change a setting so I am not clear why. I am considering playing with Preference files or re-installing the whole thing.

Also, does anyone know when the OSX version will appear and will it be a free upgrade?

Many thanks
