 fixed that, and it’s 100x better than it was before, so I don’t spend any

 Tiger is not something I would waste time on myself, since every time I

 surprised how someone could be using it in context of development.)

 I would invest some time in Leopard, provided ppc64 is fixed. That gonna
 make sense for G5.
