Re: Tiger - any essential apps broken?

P.S.  Before installing it is worth selecting all your address book  
entries and "Export vcard".  Comparing the 10.3 vs 10.4 "~/Library/ 
Application Support/AddressBook" directories reveals some different  
file naming protocols. Updating the new address book was not a simple  
case of copying over 10.3 files to this location (although to be  
honest, I avoided renaming my 10.3 files to those of 10.4.  I was  
unsure whether new archiving methods are in place for 10.4 databases,  
given the advent of Spotlight).  Importing vcards was the method I  
had to choose to update my address book, so ensuring your old address  
book is archived in this format prior to 10.4 installation might be a  
handy tip.

I should also add I performed a clean install.  Such problems may not  
exist doing an upgrade installation.

Cheers, Matt
