I always wait. Usually some expensive app [music] that I need to upgrade first gets in the way. In general though I wait, I don't like doing OS upgrades. I went from 7.5.5 [came with the 7300] to 7.6.1 [once the cds were shipping that way] to 8.0/1 [when 8.1 was available for download] to 8.5/6 [when 9 come out], skipped all of 9 as I was tired of playing the upgrade game and nothing I used required it.. I didn't upgrade to OSX until Jaguar when 10.2.3 was shipping on disc and didn't upgrade to Panther until the 10.3.5 discs were shipping. Bleeding edge I'm not. I usually only upgrade when an app that I use is upgraded and requires an OS upgrade. So far I'm safe. :) From the many reports out there it seems Tiger is pretty stable for a major OS upgrade though. -- Nick http://www.izap.com/~pinnacle therhythmex: AIM, Jabber, and Yahoo Messenger ID "So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?"
