[BNM] Mac upgrade of sorts

[Joe Aliferis]

it were me, I would do the following:

backup my files to an external disk

reformat the internal drive

re-install Tiger 10.4 and all updates

put my essential files back

buy a new battery

Leopard will run slower than Tiger on that Mac

Cost: 1 battery
