external hard drive compatibility

[miles01110]

Hi all-

I rely heavily on my external hard drive(s) for my job, and I am about to upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4 when I get my new mac. My question is, will I be able to plug the drive into my old computer, put a file on it, then plug it into the new computer with no problem? Or will something screw up because I am using 2 different operating systems?

It should wll work without a problem, as long as you have the program the document/file was created in, e.g, Appleworks, iWork, Garageband etc

The operating system is still OS X.
10.3 to 10.4 was just an upgrade with additional features and such.
The basic Operating system is the same.
