OK, so I've got an old Mac that runs on OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and I'm thinking of upgrading to 10.6 (Snow Leopard), because I'm tired of being left out of the VLC Player/Handbrake/Telltale Games/Monkey Island Special Edition loops, and I've got some quick questions. Sorry if some of them seem basic, but I'm pretty Mac-stupid.1)Will I keep all my programs?2)How do I "back up" my applications? I've got an external drive: do I just drag and drop?3)My computer's 3 years old: is it even worth upgrading? Is the video card too old for even basic games like Telltale's and Lucasarts'?4)Was this worth its' own thread? I sincerely hope so.
1) I don't know, try googling for other people's experiences. Either way I'd still feel better if you reformatted completely between the two.2) Drag and drop any files but, unless Windows and Mac are vastly different, applications will need to be reinstalled. Since you probably don't have the installers for all of your programs, it'll help in the long run too because it forces you to update some older programs. If you're running any licensed software, remember to look for and write down any keys, IDs, license numbers, etc.3) Just three years old should be fine for ADVENTURE games like that but we can't really say without knowing your system specs in detail.4) I think so.That's all I can tell you, being a Windows user and not knowing any Mac techies, but I'm not comfortable having you to go on with just this. Go to an Apple/Mac specialized board and ask there.
