[QUOTE="didymus, post: 877351, member: 98293"] [b]Snow Leopard[/b] No upgrade is ever absolutely necessary for a computer user, but most people do upgrade (and you'll be able to do it for 29 UK pounds) to take advantage of whatever improvements there are. By coincidence, the new issue of MacFormat (just out) has a feature article entitled, "9 things you'll love about Snow Leopard" - they are: 1. an improved Finder; 2. a new QuickTime 3. a better version of Preview 4. updates to iCal and Address Book (providing sync with Google) 5. better Grab 6. refined Stacks options 7. Expose now in the Dock 8. enhanced accessibility features (for sight impaired, etc.) 9. new tools in System Preferences and most built in operations run as 64 bit applications, not 32 bit. That seems enough for my money :-) However, it's a little academic for you, since your G5 isn't Intel-based. [/QUOTE]
