| Boxed OS X Tiger! | |
| Posted by: Brett B. on 2016-03-22 12:35:14 Never thought I'd see or score this, but I picked up a complete boxed retail copy of OS X Tiger on DVD today from the thrift store for $6. I'm actually really happy about this because the only retail Tiger DVD I have is worn to the point where it is almost unusable. It'll also look cool with my other boxed OS software. | |
| Posted by: CC_333 on 2016-03-22 14:26:17 Neat score! And for $6! Wow! I've never had the full retail box of Tiger, but eventually (once prices come down from the stratosphere some more), I'd like to get boxed copies of 10.3-10.5 (I have single boxed copies of Mac OS X Server 1.0v1.3, 10.1 (Puma?), Jaguar, and several boxed copies of Snow Leopard and everything since has no box). c | |
| Posted by: Brett B. on 2016-03-22 15:14:40 "full retail box" is a weird, subjective term in this case: the "box" is actually about the size of one of those CD jewel cases that holds 4 discs. There aren't any huge books or anything, just a couple license agreement pamphlets, the Tiger DVD, and an iLife disc. It might actually get lost on display with the others since it's 1/8 the size of everything else. Offhand I think I have boxed copies of OS 8.0, 9.1, 10.0 Server, now 10.4, one or two others, and several versions of DOS and Windows as well. Love em. | |
| Posted by: unity on 2016-03-22 15:37:01 Well the retail box was large like the ones prior for Tiger. Is it in fact DVD? It could be an upgrade set or CD set. I dont recall, but I think Tiger came on DVD and was the first to do so. So if one wanted CD version, it had to be ordered from Apple. | |
| Posted by: Gil on 2016-03-22 16:15:58 I thought tiger came in a "full-size" box, at least originally. I know Leopard came in the "mini" box and everything after. I've been recently trying to obtained boxed copies of the OS X versions as well. So far have 10.3 and 10.5 | |
| Posted by: Brett B. on 2016-03-22 17:00:39 Certain versions in larger boxes, maybe? The sticker on this one says "Mac OS X 10.4.6 RTL" It is on DVD and I can't see any indication that it's an upgrade version. I was mistaken about iLife, I meant iWork.  | |
| Posted by: unity on 2016-03-22 17:11:01 That may be the legacy copy? That is the one sold post-Leopard days. Mine is certainly in a large box. | |
| Posted by: Brett B. on 2016-03-22 17:16:48 Hmm, cool. Well now I have a mission to acquire both! Ha. | |
| Posted by: TheWhiteFalcon on 2016-03-22 17:40:02 Yeah, mine is a large box as well. | |
| Posted by: joewhk on 2016-03-24 07:39:38 As I recall there were 3 versions of Tiger DVDs. 10.4.0 and 10.4.3 were in traditional, large boxes while 10.4.6 (the first Intel-compatible version) comes in small boxes. All Mac software comes in small boxes since then. | |
| Posted by: leon on 2016-03-27 05:18:29 And then you'll start trying to collect all the server versions as well. | |
