Usually when someone posts on Mac-Forums wondering if they should update to Mac OS 10.5 Leopard...I usually try to warn them that an install disk is going to cost in the neighborhood of $100-$125 (e-Bay prices)...and sometimes more. This is an especially important consideration if the person thinking about doing this OS update has a computer that isn't worth much more than the cost of the 10.5 install disk.
Anyway...$100-$125 for a 10.5 install disk purchased via e-Bay does sound a bit steep (considering it's an older OS...but still in demand among G4 & G5 users). Well I was doing some internet shopping...and came across MegaMacs. They're selling Mac OS 10.5.6 install DVD's for $229.99...and Mac OS 10.5.0 for $199.99!
These prices are for the single user version...not the 5-user Family Pack!!!
