Tiger came with all the original Intel Macs, so there was no upgrade for them. An upgrade to Tiger for PowerPC Macs was also US $129. Apple has dropped the upgrade prices. Snow Leopard was originally US $29, now only $19.99 online at the Apple Store. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Lion(you have to call support to get it) and Mountain Lion (online at the App Store) are $19.99. > Besides I prefer to do a clean install with a complete operating system rather than an upgrade. That is one option when upgrading. Never done it myself since I didn't see any need to do so. -- _________________________________ Larry I.
