No problem as usual with my PowerMac G5 2x2,3 and my MacBook 2,0
We are all made of Quarks and Leptons.

I think you'll find that 10.4 will run a lot better than 10.2, even on an old G4. Unless it's an upgraded "oldworld" machine. XPostfacto works for 10.4, though, I believe.

I'm running 10.4 on a 400Mhz Powerbook, and, while it's not exactly the snappy, it's a shedload faster than 10.2 or 10.3 ever were.

Will they stop updates at 10.4.9, or will they just add another number? ;)

I believe that Apple's standard policy is to switch to roman numerals for numbers greater than 9, so it will be MacOS X.4.X

I second running the latest version OS X you can. I've run them
from 10.0 to 10.4 and there have been small but worthwhile
performance improvements each time, as well as new features
and updated software.

Best bit for me is that they *finally* sorted Bluetooth sync for my Moto V3i, that's been frustrating to say the least!

Just wondering if anyones had problems with Safari after the upgrade. First I upgraded the mac mini - no problem.

Then upgraded the lappy and Safari now refuses to launch. No error or anything. Bounces in the dock once and that's it :?

Was working fine immediately before the upgrade.

EDIT:
Seems a fairly widespread problem although hopefully easilly fixed (I'm on it now).
