James dont' recall how old your Mac is, but there is a point where it
is more cost effective to replace the machine instead of repairing it.
So, hope you get something you'll enjoy and can grow into over the
next few years.

Hi,
I was aware that that would come up. Unfortunately, what I said worked
in theory, though you are right that it did not work in practice. I
still however think quite clearly before making any statement on this
list.

Hi,
Loui:
I take offence at this.
I know that there was a strong roomer that unibodies did not have the
drivers included on the OS X retail disk. This may have changed, but
the evidance was that the machines requireing new drivers came out
after the disk.

Hi,
I did not say aluminum, but rather Unibody. There may have been
updates to the retail copies, but I know they didn't include the
proper drivers at first.

Alex, what are you talking about? Of course you can use a retail disk
on a aluminum MB. I've used my retail Leopard disk on several machines
since I have a five license user pack.

Yes, Snow Leopard is a complete OS Which will only work on Intel Macs.
Anyone purchasing a new Mac from now on will be able to get Snow
Leopard for the equivalent of $
complete OS as opposed to an upgrade?

I see, thanks Alex. Can you still buy the retail copy or should I just wait
until SL which I've heard is a complete OS as opposed to an upgrade?

Hi,
James:
The MBP ships with its own disk. The retail copy of Leopard does not
work on Unibodies. Remember that the disk probably only has one
lisence on it.

Hi everyone,
This might sound like a stupid question, but I have a copy of Leopard from
when it first came out taht I bought from the store. Will this work on an
MBP or does the MBP have a specific configuration that is not covered by
the disc?
Thanks
James
