The Official Mac OS X "Tiger" Thread


Recommended Posts

I'm looking into a MacMini to introduce myself to Mac soft/hardware. It says: From $499. Is that including Tiger? (I mean, if I buy it after Tiger is released)

Is OSX based on UNIX tecnhology?

Of course the price is including the OS. Even if you buy a Mac mini today, if it doesn't ship with Tiger, you will be able to upgrade for just the shipping cost of the media (usually $10 to 20).

Yes, OS X is based on UNIX.

I've been spending some time on the resources, and have an extras.rsrc file almost complete that changes everything back to Pantherish, but I can't find the resource for the spotlight menu bar icon. If anyone could find out where this is located, that would be of tremendous help!

Was Windows XP a free update for Windows 2000 users?  After all, XP was Windows NT version 5.1 and 2000 was version 5.0.

Was Windows 98 a free update for Windows 95 users?  After all, 98 was Windows version 4.1 and 95 was version 4.0.

Why is it that people keep having to point this out over and over and over again?

see this quote as to how to answer a question. All he wanted was some information

Updates are on the release cycle.

10.3 had 8 so far; If you had 10.3.0 then 10.3.1, 10.3.2 ... 10.3.8 (Possibly 9 soon?) were free.

When 10.4.0 comes out then you need to buy a new copy.

It is kind of like Windows 98 update to Windows 98SE .... Only better  :D

Hope that explains it for you...

And it's information that is repeated in nearly every thread on this board relating to Tiger (and probably a few threads back when Panther was released too).

when the hell are they going to release 10.3.9 update?

I have decided not to mmove to Tiger till a 10.4.x release.

Probably the week before Tiger is released, I would guess, if not sooner.

A word of advice to all the Mac-skeptical: Before any of you yields to the irresistible urge of saying that Tiger is nothing but a Service Pack with a few shiny widgets (which will happen sooner or later, if hasn't already), I recommend taking a look here:

This link would be good to look at too:

Feature comparison of Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger

I turned Tiger inside-out looking for that icon. Can't find it anywhere.

God, I'm really p*ssed off about Tiger's interface! :angry:

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
