That is hard to buy into. If Apple can make a new Nano work on XP; then why can't it make it run on a newer (than XP) operating system?
What is it about the new Nano that will not run under 10.3.9?
It's a USB device. As long as works with iTunes and iCal (contact syncing); what else is there?
This is something that ALWAYS bugged me. Apple was still supporting Windows 2000 up until about a year or so ago. There is really no reason or excuse for Apple to NOT support 10.3.9 "IF" iTunes still runs on it. I mean, it's a F-ing USB device.
Who knows, maybe everything will work but Video on the iPod Phatty under 10.3.9.
I was on 10.3.9 up until mid/late last year. I went to the MacSwap site and located a copy of 10.4 for a G5 Tower for around $20-$30. Everyone told me to wait and buy 10.5 but it was time for me to upgrade my OS but as cheap as possible. I suggest you check out the swap site and try and locate a copy specifically for your sisters computer.
I know it's not legal or morally right... However, "IF" 10.3.9 does EVERYTHING your sister needs it to and "YOU" have a copy of 10.4 why not just load it... I'm sure I'll take tons of $h*t even suggesting that however I'm just suggesting and NOT TELLING you to do it.
