<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I like 9.2.2.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm comfortable with 9.2.2.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">But TurboTax wants 10.2.8 at least.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Yes, there are several advantages to the system upgrade (for instance, I could get my photos directly off my Canon Powershot). But, well, see above.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So….</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a Graphite iBook SE (466 MHz w/ Firewire & CD/DVD-ROM), with 320 MB RAM.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Apple says that I can go to 10.4.5.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1) Is 10.4.5 practicable on my machine?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2) Would something between 10.4.5 & 10.2.8 be "better" in some way?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3) If I want to get something less that 10.4.5, where do I get it? Would it save money?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">4) As an option, could I install 10.2+ on my external firewire HD? If so, how?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">(To those folks with the suggestions on how to get my photos from my Canon Powershot 610; Thanks all of you for your suggestions. Yes I thought about the card reader, I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed an option with just the camera and a cable. Evidently, not. Well, this upgrade will solve that problem also. And I may still get the card reader, so I don't need to start the camera just to retrieve the photos.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">TIA for all thoughts.</FONT>
