===========================================

I'm a cautious "belt and suspenders" guy myself.  I like to wait until
Apple has had an opportunity to work the bugs out of a new OS
before buying it - usually right before the next version is due to come
out.  As an old codger, I don't use most of the goodies that come
with the new programs, anyway, but feel having a later version OS
makes my Mac more compatible with downloads I might import.

I'm running Panther 10.3.9 like you are, and plan to buy Tiger in
September or October.  I'm also running a clunky iMac with only
512 mg of SDRAM, and 80 GB HD, so gotta be a bit conservative
on what I import.  Still I think Tiger will work out okay, being that
the bugs are pretty well resolved by now.
