Hello All,
I wanted to thank everyone who joined in on this thread. I was
speaking from the heart and it might not have needed to be so
important, but I'm just tired of upgrades folks. Yea Tiger sounds cool
this and cool that, but it just seems that once I FINALLY get
comfortable with my damn computer, Apple is racing the clock to make it
obsolete. These big OS upgrades make me nervous. It's only a matter
of time before the ATI video card in my Pismo will no longer be
supported. Tiger supports it. . .for now.
In my opinion, Apple needs to SLOW DOWN. They should have just stuck
with Panther for a while, and focused their developing efforts to bring
back the Newton, and concentrate on a G5 PowerBook / iBook. When it
comes to software, I say what most people say about hardware that
works. . ."if it ain't broke, why fix it?!" Anyway, no need to respond
to this, I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. It's nice to
know that I'm not the only one who prefers to wait it out when major OS
upgrades roll out yet again. I just hope someone at Apple reads this
and agrees. Maybe Tiger will be the new OS for the next 2 or even 3
years. Apple could stretch it out. . . after all, they have to go from
10.4.0 all the way up to 10.4.9!
Thanks again!

I think Apple has waited. Tiger was released 18 months after Panther.
Your Pismo is over five years old now, I think it's to Apple's credit that it is still a viable computer choice. I'm not sure what you mean about the video card in the Pismo being supported, Quartz Extreme requires at least a 16MB video card (600mnz iBook and up) while the new Core Video has only a few supported cards at this time. I have the same card in my 500mhz TiBook.
