Siblings and I went in on a new Nano for our mom for xmas. Went over there tonight to help her get it set up on her iMac G5 (10.3.9). Find out you must have friggin' TIGER to use the new Nano. Oh...unless you're on a flippin' WINBLOZE box. Then you're fine with whatever Winbloze bloatware you have, assuming it's made in the past five years or so which is what my sisters run on.
WTF, APPLE?!
My two sisters who are PeeCee people were astounded that Apple would do this to its users. I'm standing there in front of everyone looking like an idiot for being an Apple fan. So I guess a retail, run-on-any-Mac version of Tiger is ONLY $150 or so. So that 4g Nano is now $300. Man, I am embarrassed. So now I have to look at returning this Nano and getting her an iRiver or whatever the hell other mp3 player there is...that doesn't play all the music she's bought on iTMS already. F$%^k!
Feel free to PM me if anybody has a solution or an old Tiger they want to sell that will install on an iMac G5 (the first G5 model) 20".
