Well... On the date of the release of Tiger, at 6:00 p.m. I found myself in line waiting for the Apple Store to re-open. They opened up the store's door and about 200 or so of us faithfuls were in line and under a general applause we entered the Store. The Apple personnel were distributing some sort of "scratch and win" game... I won an iTune!

Upon entry, I proceeded to go straight to the counter and purchased my fresh copy of Tiger. I came home soon thereafter, and installed on my TiG4, 15", 1Ghz. I figured, bugs or no bugs, I will deal with it. I did the same when 10 came out. Then the same when 10.2 came out. The same with 10.3. Never had any issues (major ones) to deal with.

Some of us are crazy that way.

My Fellow PowerBook-philes and Zoltan,

I purchased Tiger right away but did not install it right away. The reason I did this was in order to ensure that I received a low- price for a retail box version of the system. As there were multiple dealers selling Tiger at ~$100 without requiring an update, this was ideal for me.

My thinking is that I should grab this good price and then install it later after a few bugs work themselves out.

Cheers!

Sincerely,
Pacer the Loon

Hello all,


I've been hearing a lot lately about Tiger this and Tiger that. . .doesn't anyone wait anymore? I mean, there's bound to be bugs in huge upgrades. . .history has taught me that. When I went from 9 to Puma (10.1) I ended up going back to 9 until Jaguar (10.2.) came out; and I didn't go to Jaguar until about 7 months after it was released. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that people these days just can't wait to run down to the Apple Store to pop in the latest and greatest only to find themselves slowed down by piles of BUGS. No thanks. . .I'm happy right now with 10.3.9. :)
