[quote digby]It is confusing -- we got some educational units. New MacBooks, but running Tiger. The Apple Geniuses were great-- tried running games with 10.5 as well -- no difference.
This brings up a question I wanted to ask for a while. I apologize, I don't want to hijack the thread. Also, I don't want to make an analogy between Leopard and Vista. But, if you are just happy with Tiger (like I am) and see no need to upgrade to Leopard, is it possible to buy a new machine and install Tiger on it (like people put XP on new laptops instead of Vista). I would like to get a new MacBook sometime next year, especially if Apple brings the LED displays to the consumer line, but I am not sure whether I like Leopard or not, I haven;t tried it yet and I hear conflicting reports.
