A suggestion: Change OS 9 to OS X at your home. It may be hassle but once you change from OS9 to OS X things will go in your way from home to work.

negative the one at home is a 266 g3 i dont think it have the juice to handle os x..

When you erase and reformat in OS X are you making sure that you are installing the OS 9 drivers? I assume you are using Disk Utility to do this? If not, you should.

All of your hard disks should be formatted HFS+. There's no good reason here to be using anything else.
