Apple is the new Microsoft. HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my...you've never dealt with "Which of the seven versions of Vista do you want " Microsoft, have you?? ROFL (and btw, no, you can't just install the update anyway, like you can with Apple.) Apple is selling to 10.4 users the equivalent of iLife 09, iWork 09, 10.5 and 10.6 ($316 total retail value) for $169, and not even enforcing that. If they sold it the way they normally did, they'd be charging $129 for the OS alone. And 10.4 users would be whinging about how Apple's ripping them off instead of just charging $29 like the 10.5 upgrade, and is the "New Microsoft." -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
