Although I haven't used Tiger Stopped reading right there. Get back to us once you have. Until then your second hand smoke about Tiger ain't worth much. Running just peachy at this end, period. alsoft.com should be bundled though, with instructions to Disk Utility repair permissions after Disk Warrior cleans up.

I've got Tiger running on my older 1GHz 17"PB. It was very buggy at 10.4.0. Especially Mail. Apple has done an amazing first revision - the machine truly is faster that with any of the older systems and they seem to have fixed all the ridiculous Mail bugs. Two things I found I had to do after upgrading to 10.4.1 were to upgrade and run DiskWarrior to clean up the directory and then run Disk Utility to fix permissions. Then for Safari I just had to clear cache and turn off caching all together. This machine now runs very well. Dashboard - I'm not super impressed with it yet. There sure are a lot of widgets for it already though. Spotlight - It's taking me some time to figure out how to use it efficiently, but each time I do use it, I am very impressed. I particularly like setting up smart mailboxes in Mail and having them automatically capture aliases to all messages relating to the match conditions: project, sender, subject, etc. You have to use Spotlight to get proficient with it and to appreciate it. Spotlight accumulates an awful lot of file aliases in response to a search - it's tricky writing the right search request to minimize irrelevant hits. And the order of the search results list is usually not what you're hoping for - what you want is often quite a ways down the list - but it is there. I've only played once with Automator and it does seem an easier way to do scripting. You can get it to run AppleScripts also, but I've never been much of a script writer/user. I see good possibilities with Automator/AppleScript when more apps integrate them in. When I get time, I'm going to play with them some more.
