[CUBE] Tiger (OS X.4)

[Eagle]

Jason,

That's the wave of the future, so an upgrade will be required for some 
Cube owners who want to keep up.  Apple already distributes a lot of 
other software only on DVD, so it doesn't surprise me that they 
switched to DVD for the OS.  I mean, Panther was already several CDs.

My new iMac and PowerBook both came with a single combination 
Install/Restore/Test DVD, as opposed to several CDs.  iLife currently 
comes in both formats, but the full software is only on DVD.

DVD or CD, I personally can't wait to get my hands on Tiger. :)
