[Ham-Mac] Upgrade to Tiger

I did a clean install about a month ago.  I backed up all my important files, 
including my mail and internet bookmarks.  It went just fine.

As far as classic being supported, it's not that classic is no longer 
supported, just that OS 9 does not get installed with Tiger.  You will have to 
have an OS 9 cd to install from after you do the Tiger install.  I installed 
my OS 9 on another hard drive, just to keep the two OS's completely 
separated.  I think if you do it on the same hard drive you will have to 
partition the hard drive so you have an OS X and an OS 9 partition.
