Value in upgrading from 10.3 to 10.4? — #9
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 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 …

A friend at Apple can get you either 15 or 25% off list price. A friend who is a student or teacher can get Tiger for $69. If you are a student, you can get Tiger for $69. If you'v…

Dual layer burners don't cost any more than single layer burners.
For a burner I like the Pioneer DVR-110D (in gray or black). It is the fastest burner on the market for all the D…

I'm going to skip all the fuss with buying a drive and a case separate and get one of those sexy and praised Sony burners.
