Hi Bill, I have stayed with 10.3 for now until I see that the bugs have been worked out of Tiger. I am using Norton Systemworks for now, however, Symantec has discontinued supporting some of it. They still support Norton Antivirus for MAC and a few other things. I wouldn?t recommend Norton. I use it because I had already invested the money in it, however, next time I will go with someone else.
I have used Norton since the early 90?s when I was Sr. Program Director for GE Corporate Marketing in New York. It was an excellent product then, but frankly now it stinks. When I switched to Panther, they had to send me a new disk so it would work with it. It has never worked very well since.

So far as I know, the last time it was useful was when system 6 was current.
