another thing to watch out for with computers is this:

You dont ever presume something will work - unless the exact same hardware and software has been used.

you work backwards.
you presume it doesnt work unless its been tested to work.

I have been doing this for far too long to ever make any assumptions that things will work.
i assume they dont and work forwards.

and its often really surprising and odd things that break stuff.
like wierd usb hardware. and wierd drivers.
and it really surprising when it does work....

so far tiger has been pretty stable for me.

now that 10.4.4 is out, and the tertiary bugs ( 3rd generation - bug fixes of bug fixes ) have been dealt with.

Catalyst should have worked out of the box on tiger - i dont do anything wierd or unusual - but apple broke something crucial ( they deprecated some opengl stuff ) - and it never got fixed - hence the need for 3.31.

Also this same bit that got broken on tiger on desktops and real graphics cards - WORKS on the Mac mini - and is the only thing you can use....
