Someone I know had it crash three times, so he just did a full reinstall. Good luck!
Edit: I've been appointed the Mac expert on the helpdesk team now (simply because I know something about them and everyone else knows nothing) and my new Macbook Pro arrived yesterday. Shiny! Been watching movie trailers all day using the remote.

Good luck! Do tell of all the funky new features and whether they're actually worth the upgrade and I might do it myself.

Beware any extensions you may have, especially 'Haxies' involving Application Enhancer (APE) - Shapeshifter is a popular one but anything that plays with the top menu bar, desktop, dock etc. is suspect. If you have any of these, remove them first, or the Upgrade *will* break. Archive and Install is a safe bet but then you have to reinstall everything.
Unfortunately I use one to get widescreen resolutions as Tiger doesn't offer 16:10 resolutions by default, so an upgrade is out of the question for me at the moment. |

I upgraded as soon as I could. No major issues so far. Time Machine is great. Its comforting knowing that my data is all backed up and that I don't have anything waving at me to do so. I did a completely reinstall as I wanted to sort out my space issues. Back to about 2 gb free now

Here I go
Good thing is is that although this is my main machine, all files and app install files are on another machine so if this does go belly up, I can still work and still have everything to hand
