I'm using a 1GHz iMac, I image they're very similar in performance (768 MB, 80GB), and Tiger is soooooo much better (faster) than Panther, though I think by 10.3.9, Panther was pretty good. I really like the tabbed browsing in Safari with Tiger as well as the better Mail (though uglier) and Spotlight is pretty cool. So all in all, very glad for updating to Tiger from Panther, and man I don't know how I'd use a computer without Exposé. I look like a nervous freak at work continually sliding the mouse to the upper left corner on the Win PC, obviously without the desired result. You gotta update, all the waydukebound85 said:
My PB (in sig) is a bit faster than your emac but I don't know if it's a sizeable difference-- Tiger runs very well. And having used Panther (came w/ my PB) and Tiger (on my iMac) I was enamored and HAD to get Tiger for my PB, too.dukebound85 said:
I say if you're going to spring for a new OS you might as well go for Tiger rather than Panther.

Did you mean Tiger over Panther?? Or do you think the general populous thinks Panther is better than Tiger? I think it was probably just a typo since everyone in this thread seems to think that Tiger is better.mad jew said:

Yeah, I completely agree with you. I first (well besides in classes at school) starting using macs when 10.0 came out. It was cool. I had the opportunity to buy 3 computers as long as two were macs (and to try to keep it under the 10K $$). So two iMacs and a Dell (oops) later I was able to try them (OSX vs XP) out side by side, and hands down (after 12 years of DOS and Windows) I turned into a Mac lover. Bought my own iMac when 10.2 came out and really liked it, but man with Panther, that was it. I couldn't get enough. Exposé had me hook, line and sinker. Probably the most often thing I use. Tiger is pretty good too, but most of the benefits for myself are in the apps and not the OS per se, but still a good update.mad jew said:
