Oooh that does sound bad. In my experience, it's best to re-install if an install crashes. You can run an Archive and Install, so that your user settings and stuff stays the same, but it reinstalls the system. That'll fix the problems. -Elliott Price Mac Computer Repair - Santa

Yup, that about sums it up. Apple figures that if you never bought Leopard, then you never paid the $130 for it, and therefore should buy the way more expensive Box set Snow Leopard. It'll upgrade Tiger anyways, though, so I don't know how they're going to enforce this... -Elliott

You could hook them up with Ethernet, and transfer the files with FileSharing. Be sure to use a crossover ethernet cable. Or, buy a cheap old external USB CD burner, then you can back them up to CD's. -Elliott Price Mac Computer Repair - Santa Barbara Graphic Design - Artwork Setup
