After exactly 8 months of having Mac OS X Leopard installed on my 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 it's gone.

At 12:10AM EST on the 29th of June I popped in: Install Disc 1 of the PowerBook G4 and began an Archive and Install of Mac OS X Tiger



...all that is now left of Leopard is the folder entitled: "Previous System 1."

I haven't felt like this since the day (October 28th, 2007) I actually installed Leopard.

Since my installing of Leopard, which went without a hitch, I began to collect my individual problems with Leopard. Chiefly in regards to my Optical Drive and it's abilities.

Thereafter I had began to have problems with my Airport dropping Wi-Fi Signals, Not Being able to Connect, and Not even Seeing Wi-Fi networks.

Other problems included the PowerBook heating up immensely--I didn't have it heating up before when I had Tiger on it.

Also just starting applications took considerably more on Leopard.

However I really enjoyed the Leopard operating system, so in spite of my problems I kept using it.

Then about two weeks ago I began to contemplate downgrading back to Tiger.

The turning point came when my younger Brother came to visit me and used my PowerBook and stated: "This thing is sooooo slow...man! Don't you have like a little over a Gig of RAM on this thing?"

Indeed it was slow and indeed I have a little over a Gig of RAM--1.25GBs of RAM to be precise.

That was late afternoon on June 28th that my Brother had commented on the state of my PowerBook.

So hours later I came to downgrade to Tiger.

My PowerBook G4 runs noticeably faster and programs load much quicker than before and even my internet connection is faster on Tiger.

Leopard is gone...Tiger is back.
