[Ti] Upgrade to Jaguar

[Ron Woodland]

I am sure that both of you will find the transition is less traumatic 
than expected.  Your approach is sound.  The only caution I would add is 
to be prepared for significantly shorter battery life under OS X.  I 
bought a second battery and I try to be near an outlet as much as 
possible.  Reminds me of traveling with my late mother when she had a 
bladder control problem.  ;)
