After repairing my new powerbook G4, i had to reinstall Mac OS X Tiger on it. I could have installed Leopard, but i just feel Leopard is just too new to be good, while tiger has been there for a while and is very stable and real-life proofed.
I recently repaired an old yet excellent powerbook G4 12″ so that i can have a mac at disposal to test my websites.
The LCD screen was completely smashed so i bought the spare part at the excellent powerbookmedic . Since i got the computer for free (thanks sis’ !) it represented the only investment (300 USD, about 250 EUR and decreasing…). So the price was good, and the service was excellent: I ordered the screen on a friday and received it the next wednesday.
