I use a G4 and G5 because I need to boot OS9 but if all you need is Classic and can afford to buy a PM G5 then you can have Tiger and OS 9.2.2 on one partition and Leopard on the other. I stay with iTunes 9 on both the partitions so I can use the same library on both. If you upgrade to iTunes 10 on the Leopard partition then the Tiger wont be able to access it:-) John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 USA MacPro 2.66 Quad Nehalem -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
