Hello Mike, this may or may not fit your needs. I also have a pismo maxed out, i was lucky enough to have 10.4.11 installed when i got it, and it runs it great. However i was handed an old imac 233 bondi. I used and installed linux mint ppc on it, and it runs super and is amazingly fast for an old computer. Linux mint is free with instructions at www.mintppc.org I am a hardcore mac os user, but tiger is sooooo expensive to buy, even on ebay will run you 50 to 75 dollars. I do love Mac OS, but the Mint PPC is totally useable, and totally fast and a complete FREE alternative for older computers. If Mac OS is what you desire, EBAY is def the best way to go for Tiger. I must say tho, that the Linux is amazing and was only a minor headache to install. The forum on the MintPPC site will help with any install issues. Hope this helps!
