[G4] Jump from Jaguar directly to Tiger?

[Robert Hazelrigg]

The cost of an upgrade can cost allot more then just the $129 initial 
charge. The perfect example is Panther when I switched to Panther I 
couldn't print to my Minolta 3120 with Fiery Rip for 3 months. I had to 
reinstall OS 9 to get my jobs out. What a HUGE waste of time it was to 
install X.2, then re-install 9, then install X.2 again with a patch and 
new drivers. Sorry but I can't afford to upgrade until ALL of the 
issues are resolved. I use my Mac for my business, so I'll wait until I 
hear that Quark, Creative Suite 2, and all of my printers will work on 
it.

You'll see just read MacFixIt on next week.

Moreover, I used to work for Apple and I've been that guinea pig 
before. There are always unforeseen obstacles that pop up after a new 
release. The same goes for hardware. The first G3 Tower was totally 
worthless, and you can almost say the same thing about the first G4 
"yikes" model. We had hundreds of bad mother boards, and fried hard 
drives.

But If you've got the time and the money go for it, and good luck. I 
hope you don't need it.
