I still can't use Lightroom, because I can't get OSX 4 to install on my G4 dual 1.25 machine. I returned my disk to Amazon and got a new one. Same result: the screen grays over and tells me to restart the computer while the installer is checking the installation DVD. And that happens from either of my DVD drives. I'm going to try it with all drives disconnected and all cards pulled out of their slots. If that doesn't work, I don't know what I'll do. Apple refuses any tech support even though I initially bought Apple Care because my machine is over three years old. That's something to keep in mind when one thinks about switching to the happy-go-lucky company in Cupertino. Support is abysmal, even if you buy their software.
