Changed my mind

I didn’t like the upgrade at first, but with the bug fixes and the spotlight feature. . . I changed my mind. Of course, now we’ve moved on to faster cats. . .
People doing this are also doing these things:

I like Tiger . . . I use widgets pretty regularly. But on the whole it’s not AMAZING or anything. I’m still glad I did it, though.

First it resulted in an inordinate amount of crashes. 10.3.9 was a rock. But I find that 10.4 crashes ALL THE TIME. I’ve repaired permissions, I’ve re-installed. It’s still a buggy, buggy platform. I recently did the update in hope that it would improve my woeful life—that just made it worse. Now, 10.4.4, won’t aknowlege my external bluetooth dongle. 10.3.9 installed it without even asking for drivers. I used to love my mac and the ease of use and security that came with it. This kind of crappiness makes me long for a PC again.

through on this goal. I have OS X.3.9. So spending 200 to upgrade my macs did not really appeal to me (yes, I wanted to upgrade—but I wasn’t in a hurry) and I had never really run into a program that wouldn’t run on OS X.3.9, until now. My GTD software from Kinkless does not work in it’s entirety because the scripting was written for 10.4. Do I spend that kinda bank for one freaking application.
More speed, (lots) more heat
4 years ago
The first thing I noticed was how much faster it booted on my Powerbook 12-inch (1.33GHz, 1.25GB RAM, 64MB Nvidia FX Go 5200, 60GB hard disk). Finder action and web browsing were snappier than Panther too. It’s all good. And then I started to really use it.
The fan comes on almost everytime I so much as dare breathe at the screen. The underside gets uncomfotably hot, which has never been the case with Panther. And did you know that the Finder does a brilliant impression of a slug? Whenever it feels like it, too… you never can tell when the beachball’s going to pop up and stop everything.
I have since uninstalled it and gone back to Panther. Between more speed and more heat, when it comes to a mobile computer, I think the choice is obvious. Two thumbs down for Tiger’s usefulness on the go.
