Upgrading software using used discs
Hi fellow ebidders!.
I have a mac osx power pc G5 which runs on panther. I need to upgrade to "tiger" so that I can upgrade my browsers. I cannot afford to buy the Tiger software new as it is too expensive for me so I've been looking at used discs. I've never upgraded before and have heard stories about people buying used discs and then the discs not working and they lose their money. Can somebody please tell me if I buy a used version of Tiger would it still work if I just put the disc in and ran it? Also what should I be looking for , I've seen DVD's and CD software discs for sale and I'm not sure which are the actual software or whether they are info discs.
Many thanks for any advice, Tess
