I'd buy the current Mac with 10.4--AFTER the release date for 10.5/Leopard is announced. That way you have the current OS and a FREE upgrade to the new one when it comes out. You'll have the chance to get used to Tiger, and can wait until Leopard is tweaked to 10.5.1. My problem is that I want a free Nano. That deal expires Sept. 16th. The new OS release date probably won't be announced until the following week. But a free Nano is worth more than a free OS--$199 vs $129.
Apple usually gives a free upgrade to a new OS to buyers who purchase after the announcement and before new Macs are shipped with the new OS. That's how we went from Jaguar to Panther free. Watch the Apple site and Apple rumor sites for details.
