To Jaguar or not to Jaguar?

[Snowball]

it's always a good idea to wait for the Macworld expos if you are going to buy something, because that way you can only benefit:

A) There may be a new version of something you want instead (i.e. the 17 inch iMac)
B) Prices of old models are reduced (what happened to you)
C) Nothing happens to the product you want and you can rest assured that whatever you buy right after the expo will likely not be updated/lowered in price for quite a while.

Just some advice for next time ...

I'm going to upgrade... just waiting a bit for it to actually be released. I've been pretty happy with my current build of OSX, but I like the additions Apple has offered...

In fact I am doing some major backing up in preparation of the purchase.

I am confused! ARRRGH!!! Do you have to backup your files in order to install Mac OS Jaguar? will it really destroy your files or something? I am planning to get the student discount but i wanna make sure everything goes OK! I dotn want to have to rebuild everything... with Mac OS X.1 i was completely fine.. nothing bad happened i hope its the same way... and i also hope they dont come out with an upgrade so soon that recent upgraders cant get a discount for cause then ill reeeeally be pissed! Well... i hope evrything goes well.. ive finally raised the 70 dollars i need for Jaguar and i plan to order it within the next few days!i can only hope for the best...

well in even worse news i have a horrible cold.. i can barely speak and im getting on and off fevers so im freezing then im blazing hot... damn i hate this sick business....

well i hope everyones doing better than i am and i hope someone answers soon cause im cranky when im sick...

ahhh... forgive me im just a little irritated... well i gotta go down a glass of O.J.... see yall later!

you don't have to back up anything, it should tbe the same basic thing as the 10.1 upgrade.
