Tiger the Turtle

Doren: Thanks for the partitioning advice, I will keep it in mind for my next re-install.

Today, one of my colleagues at work bought a new Mac Mini. It came installed with Panther and with Tiger in a separate box. Tiger, once installed, browsing the internet using the university's broadband connection and using Safari was as slow as using a 9600 baud dial-up connection. Very disappointing for a first time Mac user.

I wish I had passed on your advise to him before his "upgrade" from Panther to Tiger.

Meanwhile my wife has lost three days of productivity installing Tiger, trouble shooting, finally giving up, reinstalling Panther and then iLife.

My Tiger score so far 5/8:
Ol' 450MHz G4: success = 2 points
Ol' 350 DV iMac: success = 2 points
new iBook: revert Panther = 0 points
Mac Mini slow as a turtle = 1 point.

I still have two goose-neck iMacs to upgrade to Tiger but I will wait for 10.4.1
