[X4U] when to buy Tiger?

[Mark Des Cotes]

Jim,

I don't have an answer for you in regards to Tiger but I know what you 
mean about dealing with the Apple Canada Store. Or more specifically 
their shipping method. I ordered an iMac last August and never received 
it. I was able to track the shipment to Same Day Right Away and then it 
just disappeared. To make matters worse, this was at the time that 
Apple discontinued making the "monitor on a stick" iMacs and had 
completely sold out of their stock. It took them three months to find a 
  replacement machine. I tried to convince them to ship me a newer iMac 
G5 but they wouldn't go for it.
