Guys,
1) I have an eMac running OS X 10.4 which I understand is tiger. When I looked at my disks all I could find are 10.3 disks that say Panther. I looked everywhere in my house and I could not find any Tiger disks. I don't remember how I got from 10.3 to 10.4. I don't think this can be done via a regular software update. Anyone know how I may have gone to 10.4 from 10.3?
2) I am planning on donating this eMac, but am worried about personal info that could be undeleted. If I install 10.3 over my 10.4 does it wipe the hard drive clean?
3) How easy is it to find and look into deleted files? Are there any free utilities out there I can use?
4)Is Panther still a usable OS? I'd rather not donate with a useless OS.
thanks
