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!
Sounds like you would be much happier using Windows. Afterall, Windows
XP came out in what, 2003? and its successor, codenamed Longhorn isn't
scheduled to ship until 2006, possibly 2007. Of course, everyone knows
what the reason is for the delay: M$ has to decide what to steal from
Tiger!

Dennis you are sadly mistaken. Windoze has had SEVERAL updates since
the original release of XP. Several service packs; as Microsnot calls
them, and so many security updates it's not even funny. I only know
this due to my profession, which requires me to know a bit of
everything on most platforms. The software update process for Windoze
on top of everything else is flawed, based on IE, which is a security
nightmare. . .not polished like Apple's Software Update being a
completely separate app. In the future, please carefully read posts
and don't jump to conclusions. I am not, nor have I ever been, a
PeeCee user. I have had Amigas and Macs since their advent in 1985.
Sorry if I sound pissed, but the WORST insult in my circle is calling
someone or even suggesting that someone is or could be a PeeCee user.
