Dave, Jaguar was a great improvement on 10.1 and there are resources for a lower cost new-in-the-box copy. You might try <www.mac-sales.com> (OWC) They have a better price on 10.2 and if you don't want to bite the bullet for $129 . I just checked the site and an upgrade for 10.1 to 10.2 will only run you $50. Go and check it out. -- Judy Schwartz Pres., Des Moines Macintosh Users Group
