I've never loved my Macintosh more than I do today. I installed Mac OS X Version 10.4 this morning, and Tiger truly lives up to the hype.

After ten years of Apple computers and every Macintosh operating system from System 7.1 to 10.3, I started to feel a little jaded. Sure, the operating... Read full review »
