Can anyone recommend where to purchase OS X v10.4?
Specifically for Apple Powerbook G4 1 GHz (15" Display w superdrive) currently v10.3.9 upgrading to Tiger 10.4.

Ebay & Craig's List. You may find some internet vendors/stores still selling copies as well...but regardless...you're going to pay in excess of $100.

You can do like I did and call the toll free number for Apple and tell them you would like a copy of Tiger. I received a DVD retail copy that I installed on my iBook clamshell and White iBook. Cost me a Whopping $16 plus Tx. (live SoCal)
If you just have a CD drive they will send CDs.

HTH, Rick. PS. I heard Apple my not be supporting Tiger anymore so you may be out of luck but hey its a free call!! I got my copy in June of this year!

Agreed, Apple only supports the last superseded version of OS (with Leopard>Tiger, and with Snow Leopard>Leopard), but with luck, there is leftover stock and a free call is all it will take to find out.... And please post your results after speaking to Apple, so others in the same position will know YES/NO Tiger discs from Apple.
