That's the thing I don't like about OSX, having to pay for all the iterations. If your Mac came with OS9 then all the upgrades to 9 were free. Same with 9. Fair enough that each new version of OSX comes with fancy new little apps and so on, but I'd be well cheesed off if I paid close to �100 for OSX.1 and it didn't qualify me for Tiger. And the new versions of OSX come out so often you can spend a fortune trying to keep up. My mate showed me his new 3G mobile phone a few days ago. It had loads of space for video files, picture files, downloadable games, download the highlights of a football match, realtime video chat with other 3G owners etc etc. Now while that's all very nice and I was very impressed by it all, I still would like a phone that is just a phone. A nice little unobtrusive mobile phone that does exactly what it says on the tin. For everything else I'll just carry a little notebook around (like Columbo). I'm sure Tiger will be full of whizz-bang japery, but I don't need it. I need food more, and rent money, and women aren't cheap either.
