I have one installation disc of 10.6 Snow Leopard but am keeping it as I may need it to reinstall if my Snow Leopard MacBook Pro I bought on eBay goes haywire [came without installation disc]. It only cost me $25.00 from Apple. Still prefer my MacBook Pro with Leopard [which I refused to upgrade] as it can do the things which Snow Leopard can't do as I have no updated drivers for my peripherals which date all the way back to 2007. I feel it is a crying shame that eBay and others are charging so much for the Leopard disc! After finding out what Lion has left out, I chose not to upgrade and did not buy the Lion install disc. Also was going for $25.00, I believe.
Good luck to all of you with your Power PCs. Just loved mine [iMac G4] and miss it sorely, but it was destroyed [power supply and logic board] during a dozen, rapid-fire property lightning strikes 29 November 2009. I had upgraded it to Panther so as to have VoiceOver. JG On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 6:35 PM, Aimee Glover <[email protected]> wrote: > Well I'll have to check it out.
