	Thanks, Fred. :-) That's a nice upgrade they did to it. I wish it had 
come out a few months ago before I arranged for my mother to get an 
iMac.

	As I side note, I did my first Tiger install last night and, to quote 
the McDonald's ad, "I'm lov'n it." Spotlight is amazing -- Microsoft is 
going to have to work mighty hard to get Longhorn to be a worthy 
competitor. Especially now that the Mac mini makes *nix power and Mac 
ease of use reachable to the average budget conscious consumer.

	Seeing the Mac interface makes me wish the KDE and GNOME people could 
come together and work on
one GUI someday. Aqua shows what can happen when you put enough bright 
minds on GUI design...

	I'm looking forward to seeing how Tiger's 64-bit extensions improve 
the speed on my G5, but I'm waiting to take it into the shop first. I 
think it got zapped in a recent electrical storm -- it has been 
freezing every few days since the same time my kitchen radio lost the 
ability to adjust volume right after a storm. A fresh install didn't 
help, so I'm guessing the storm damaged the hardware. *sigh*
