[Ham-Mac] os up grade

[Rick Prather]

Dale,

Checked with the guru's and no one had an answer.

I guess you could try to get your money back from the seller since he  
didn't really sell you Tiger, he sold his installation discs.

Or, you could look for the real Tiger on eBay.

Or, since it is easy to spend your money, how about you get a new  
version of Tiger from Amazon ($80?) and then also get a Pioneer  
DVR-109 ($45?) and install it in your G4.

Then, you have a legitimate copy of Tiger, a new Dual Layer DVD  
burner and you haven't spent as much as buying it from Apple with the  
CD's.
