How does this work? Do I have to pay for the upgrade, or is standard? or it only available on new machines? I am running 10.4 on intel-based mac powerbook.

I'm really starting to hate my mac. It is completely unreliable. I'm going to talk to apple about them doing some diagnostics on it. Reboots, frozen screens driving me crazy.

Do you know how to force quit? I'm guessing you do. If I ever have something freeze, I just force quit. I've never had a problem with my macbook pro. Most people say that when something freezes, it's the program's problem. But I've NEVER had to reboot my macbook pro.

I've only ever owned macs ... whether the upgrade is free is dependant upon how extensive an upgrade it is. The new OS will likely be free?

Something is obviously not quite right with the software you are running -I never reboot -ever!. It's rarely a harware problem. Your hard drive likely could use to be defragged and that would help. Are you doing your software updates or do you skip them?

One option per software is to delete the preferences, reboot and then launch the software. The software will reset to factory settings. It solves many software issues, but you must do the updates and eventually have your drive defragged.

Mike is showing us that he's no respecter of cults. Whether it's led by GBH or Steve Jobs, he will dissent.
