Good point Paul, 10.5 was a dog for wireless networking on older G4 iBooks (and g5's if I remember correctly) ,lots of problems including random drop outs there was a problem was fixed in 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 my very under spec G4 iBook runs like a bullet train network wise.

Hi Lloyd and others, I bought Leopard "on the cheap" to go with a new iMac, through the qualifying machine deal. By the time it arrived I already had the iMac all set up with Tiger as our main Mac so I decided to put it on our 1.42GHz G4 iBook 512MB RAM first. I cannot say much about software compatibility as the iBook doesn't run much 3rd party stuff. The new GUI is very nice but no revolution, just another steady step forward I guess. Networking on the other hand DOES feel like a revolution. Previously I considered wireless as a poor relation but under Leopard this iBook is one connected little piece of tasty kit!! Waking from sleep is much improved too, it can re-establish network connections in seconds. In keeping with a trend I have noticed over the years, upgrading Leopard has also made this iBook feel faster. Take THAT Vista!! 9/10 (Having trouble thinking of any negatives) Cheers Paul PS I want to clean install onto our iMac which means a very big backup, anybody seen good deals on dual layer media? eg ITML is 75GB. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attached files, may contain confidential and privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.
