Tiger: Shipped

April 28th, 2005 by Mike

My copy of Tiger, Apple’s new version of their operating system, has offically shipped! As promised, it will arrive on the 29th. Unfortunatly, I will be going out of town for the weekend, so I won’t have a chance to play with it until Sunday night.

The only question I now have is whether to do a clean install or an upgrade. If it was Windows, of course, I would do a clean. But I’m not sure if its needed with Apple. I would be nice to clean it out a bit and start from scratch…but I’m not super familiar with all the backup techniques. I don’t like to buy that backup software, I do it the old-fashioned, by hand method. Well, I guess I have the weekend to think about it and figure it out…

  • True. I forgot about that. I think I'd still go with a superdrive though if it was me.

    Well, to be fair it's $100 for .17Ghz + 40Gig of Harddrive. I guess I'll be ordering my Mini sometime tomorrow.
  • First off the Minis should be shipping with Tiger as soon at Friday (When Tiger is officially released.).

    That all looks good to me. As far as the $100 bucks for a .17 speed jump, I'm with you, as I don't see the value. If someone is really looking to get more processor speed, step up to the G5, but if you ask me, the $100 extra bucks would be more well spent adding a Superdrive to the mini instead.

    How soon do you think it'll be before the Mini's ship with Tiger? I just bought myself a new 19" monitor and I'm still in the "it's ok to spend crazy amounts of money" mentality. I think I'm going to get the cheaper one - it's not that much slower and I don't really need the 80gigs of space (it'd be a different story if I did video, but I don't).
    I will upgrade to 512mb and get the WiFi/Bluetooth so that ups the price to about $675. Mike: as a long time mac-guy, you see anything I should do different? Is that extra .17ghz really worth the $100?
