[MacDV] Re: New G5's and Tiger Concerning DV

[Neil Poese]

On the other hand....

I just bought Panther as insurance. Even if Tiger 10.4.0 isn't as buggy 
as Jaguar  10.2.0 and Panther 10.3.0, I'm not interested in being the 
ginea pig to find out. Not to mention the disaster of 10.0. I'm still 
waiting and hoping for Panther 10.3.9 to settle the instability of FW 
drives not being recognized.  It's not uncommon for the first release of 
an OS to be not ready for prime time. The fact that Tiger went gold 
master a couple of days ago is more related to meeting shipping dates 
than a guarantee of stability. My wife is still gun shy about installing 
Windows XP service pack 2. :-)

FWIW,
