[FAQ]Can I install Tiger on my Mac from another Mac's DVD/CDs?

I dont want to post for or against any comments on this post. I just want to say those who access the internet are never completely safe from the prying eyes of corporate enterprise and their far reaching quest for personal users data. and serial numbers!

I guess I do have more to say. I have bought many many products at full retail price that I used once or twice and never used again. I have also installed some apps loaned by a friend, ended up buying them and buying upgrades for the following 10 years. Maybe apple should consider changing the name to friends and family pack. I own a couple hundred shares of "appl" in one of my IRAs they aint hurtin. And anyone who thinks big business plays by all the rules and develops business models that are fair for all consumers rich and poor alike. Well I dont care what the rules say. Lighten up man Its so funny, usually the guys that cry foul the loudest....well we all know that story.

And another thing. I use Tiger on most of my machines approx 53. It aint all that and a bag of chips. Yeah it works good in many situations but apple is aware of many problems that consumers should be made aware of that may change their decision about purchasing that product. And since I brought up apple again I bought 5 of the first series dual G5 all with the same monitor card problem Yeah many many of you know what I am talking about. Contacting apple you would think it was the first time they ever heard of it sure after 6 months they finally started posting that their could be an issue on it. I had replaced all of them by then. Dont get me started. I cant even remember how many times I have been down that road since 84. Will just call it even with apple 1 family pack vs 5 monitor cards they did not have to replace!

( This is not, and should not be, an opinion thread about these things. You'll find one of those here: Apple OS licensing )

What does this even have to do with the topic at hand? If you have a gripe with Apple, there are other threads, believe me.

I have never posted in an forum before if this is a hugh issue. Let me know And I will not return. Posting this in any other forum would make no sense at all. The reply only makes sense when used within the context of this thread. I have no gripes with apple. Ask them they dont even know who I am. Macs dominate my network, although SGI IRIX OS2 AIX UNIX and a dozen or so plane old windows machines also have their place. Why do people have to post about letters of the law. When its obvious this group of users have purchased this apple product with good faith. Its one of those 5 new users that turns into a poweruser and buys millions in apple products in the course of their lifetime!
