Thank you so much for the informative reply! I knew what the basic problem was but didn't know the right way to work around it. Having spent some time in RB recently I found myself…

All, I have just bought a new HD for my 12" PowerBook (1.0 GHz) as the one I have is full. Since I will be doing a clean install on the new drive anyway, this seems like a good ti…

You're computer will suddenly be worth an additional $129! FisherKing has a good list. I don't use Automator but everything else is good. I really like Mail and AddressBook better…

Spotlight alone makes it worth it.

Your system resources are better than mine. Tiger dot 3 is solid. Sounds like dot 4 is almost out. If you can get it for a discount, that makes the purchase even easier. I use Sp…

My dad has the same computer at home, but is still running Panther. I notice significant differences in the polish of the OS on my tiger machine. The speed of the finder (this is…

If money is short, and you have 512mb of ram or less, I found that adding 1G makes the system fly. I would consider that over Tiger. If you have over 768mb, and if can afford it, w…

I got Tiger at the educator discount price. It's strange, I'm happy with it and I'm glad I have it, but I really don't think it was worth even the discounted price. Does that mak…

I barely ever use Spotlight, and Dashboard is more of a toy than anything else. I do really like the built-in image slideshow feature though.

I could list 10-20 bugs in Tiger that annoy me and haven't been fixed yet. However, the increased speed and features of Tiger more than make up for the reliability of 10.3.9.

I have to respond to this one. Tiger is definitely worth upgrading. For 99.9% of people, it works perfectly. Tiger however, hasn't been the best for me though. I'm unlucky I guess.…

It's worth it for the speed boost. I have an 800MHz iBook that is noticeably faster with Tiger than Panther. Even if you just use Spotlight once a week to find a file it's worth …
