Forgive me if I ramble, but I'm so frustrated with Tiger right now...
I'm considering doing the unthinkable -- downgrading my OS from Tiger to Panther (or was it Jaguar -- whatever version came out prior to Tiger, v. 10.3.3). Since installing Tiger on my machine (P-book, G4) I've been absolutely miserable. Prior to installing Tiger, my machine NEVER froze, I NEVER had to force quit programs, and I could run several programs at once without any sort of slowdown. These days, it seems like my backup G1 iMac runs better! So many problems, I'd rather not even get into here. All I know is, my machine (which isn't even a year old, BTW) ran MUCH better before Tiger came into the picture.
I've tried everything -- from uninstalling applications to deleting nearly every widget I had downloaded -- but still no change. I'm very close to just doing a clean install. Has anyone else here dealt with this? Has anyone uninstalled Tiger and gone back to their original OS? If so, did you encounter any problems by doing this?
A friend of mine warned me prior to installation of Tiger that it's really tailored for G5s -- any truth to this?
Feel free to call me an idiot, but if you could help out with any of the above questions, I'd really, REALLY appreciate it.
