Great news, Kunga. How is the Mail app on loading? There was an 
article in the Wall Street Journal that said the only problem they 
had with Tiger was slowness. Here is the excerpt:

"The only significant problem I noticed was that the computers seemed 
to run into slight, but greater-than-normal, delays from time to 
time. Certain functions, like Spotlight searches and the updated 
Safari Web browser, were very fast. But with other tasks, I noticed 
more spinning beach-ball icons, Apple's symbol for delays, than I had 
with the prior Panther version of the Mac operating system.

"In particular, the built-in e-mail program, Apple Mail, was slower. 
There was a perceptible lag in opening a new e-mail form, beginning a 
reply, and displaying the drop-down contact list that appears when 
you begin typing in an e-mail address."
