We have a G4 iMac, running 10.2.8. I'd lke to upgrade to 10.3.x=20
something. Is that a download upgrade or does it mean purchasing the=20 software? (sorry, I haven't kept up on this...). If purchase, can it be=20=

done online and are there discounts? Thanks...

You must purchase a copy of Panther (10.3). Remember the rule: the first number is 10, the second number is the major upgrade, the third number is the minor (free) update. So for example, 10.3.9 is the ninth free update to Panther (10.3), which was a paid upgrade from Jaguar (10.2).

Places like Smalldog and Megamacs often sell discounted copies of previous OSes, but bear in mind that the improvements in Tiger (particularly to Safari, Mail and overall speed) are vast, and the new features (Dashboard, Spotlight etc) are substantial productivity enhancers. Tiger is well worth the money IMHO. Amazon often has it on sale.

Cheers
Chas
