[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 999442, member: 140470"] Snow Leopard is more of an updated version of Leopard hence the name Snow [I]Leopard[/I]. Major OS upgrades have always been named a different animal. Usually major OS upgrades are around $129 and originally the $29 Snow Leopard was suppose to be only for people who had 10.5 Leopard already installed so it was more of an upgrade pricing versus full version retail pricing but Apple later officially stated that everyone was able to upgrade to Snow Leopard with the $29 version. Apple does seem to want everyone to upgrade to Snow Leopard which is why they decided to stay with the $29 pricing. I doubt they will keep this price for the new major OS update which is 10.7 (don't know the animal name ;)) but one can hope. I don't have either so I can't really say, but I believe part of that is because the older Macs didn't have Bluetooth. All the new Macs have Bluetooth now. You can still get accessories. The Bluetooth problem is a little more unique. My old backup PowerBook laptop which is about 6 years old can still use a lot of accessories. The hardware manufacturer just needs to provide the software drivers for your current OS. Some manufacturers are better about it than others. I'm tired now...I think I need a break. ;) Welcome to the forums by the way... [/QUOTE]
