I will buy it eventually, but even if I had the money, I object to being coerced into paying £100 for a new OS less than 12 months after paying £100 for the last one.
I ought to be able to justify it to mrs towny though, I'm reliably informed that it actually improves the performance of old G3-450s like my indigo iMac.
Anyway, that's a little

Re: Why you should dump IE.
Ah - sorry. Specifies the name of the frame to open the link in. The scary bit is that IE just does it - across sites.

Yes, which poses a potential problem ... will 10.4 offer further performance improvements for older machines or have we reached a point where the newest version of the OS is going to be just too much for them? Should I buy 10.3 while I can, or wait and risk finding out that 10.4 requires a G4, thereby leaving me stuck with 10.2.8 forever with no way of getting a 10.3 CD?
Still OT, sorry

Re: Why you should dump IE.
10.4 will require a hefty system. I G4 1GHZ is advisable otherwise it doesn't work to its very best. Although this is not 100% certain yet
I would get 10.3 as i have heard it gives a nice speed boost to older system and then leave it a while, you can always get tiger a few months after its out

So would I. I am running 10.3 on a 500MHz iBook, and it runs quite well (much better than 10.2.8).

Re: Why you should dump IE.
Don't knock the Mac. It has faults (like the PC) but there is a lot the Mac does that is better than the PC. I like both. If a Mac does what I want better than a PC, I'll use a Mac. If the PC does what I want better than a Mac, I'll use a PC.
