Mac G4 Tiger Reinstall disc- does anyone have one I can borrow?

I think it needs to be a 10.4 (there is a variation after the 4bit – can one of two. I dont want to buy one off fleabay and find its the wrong one! The Mac genius says as its an old unit they cant help. WTF)- my laptop is a G4 from circa 2003 (I think).

Can pay with two inner tubes for loan 🙂

I might be able to do better than that – I’ve got a iBook G4 that came with Panther; but we wanted to use the automatic iPhoto Facebook updater, which only worked with Tiger and above, and so I bought a proper boxed copy of Tiger.

However, in the meantime, I bought my wife a MacBook as a present, which came with Leopard. Now, because Leopard has the aces Time Machine app, which syncs with our 500GB Time Capsule, I’ve bought another legit copy of Leopard for my old but much loved iBook.

So, I’ve got a proper licenced, boxed copy of OS X10.4, that’s sat upon a shelf, collecting dust. And as far as I understand, legally, as long as it is not installed on a current machine (which it isn’t) – it can be installed on another machine (there’s no matching serial numbers to licence numbers).

Since it’s a previous operating system generation, I don’t suppose it has any second hand value whatsoever, so you can have it if you want.

If you cam email me at hunstantonsmith ( at ) me.com, I can get your address and post it tomorrow (I’m stuck in the studio, and it’s at home) 🙂

Hora- looks like you’ve had a right result, and no mistake.
