There are some neat new features and some worthwhile improvements to the standard Apple programs that would be useful, but I'm happy and comfortable doing things in ways that are becoming old fashioned I think (after the long discussions we have had here about backups) the best feature may

That is a really nice and compelling feature. For some people this will be valuable. But for those of us who don't generate critical or important data or files all day, it's not enough to merit a purchase. I might feel different in a few months or if I started having trouble. Tom Piwowar

Is 10.4.11 for the dual Macs? I have the updater set to run everyday and I'm only at 10.4.10 on my iMac G5. It's not a dual. Since I just got a new Powerbook I was able to order 10.5 for the price of shipping. After watching the movie on Apples website I'd say it is a major upgrade. Not

I am hoping that the release of 10.5 will finally bring down the price of 10.4 on eBay, so I can upgrade my 10.3.9 G4 machine. People are paying what I consider to be CRAZY prices for 10.4. I have set my price point at ~$50. -- Roger Lovettsville, VA

I often would skip a major upgrade. Apple does it in such a way that you have no problems skipping a generation of the OS. I would feel perfectly safe in going from 10.3.9 to 10.5. Steve Snyder, Mark (NGIT-CA) wrote: I have two computers running 10.3.9. One is a ~6 yr old Titanium
