apple osx system disks

[sjcap.livejournal.com]

i'm going backwards. rather than upgrading my mac laptop, i'm looking to downgrade it to osx 10.4 (tiger).

does anyone know where i can find a copy of an older apple operating system?
almost everyone i see in the cafes with macs are running updated leopard or snow leopard. if anyone has upgraded lately, and no longer needs their original osx 10.4 disks, maybe we can work out a deal ($, box of kickass cupcakes, ?).

ideas? thanks!!

Aside from the CD or DVD that comes with every Mac sold... but besides that, no media.

It comes with a system restore DVD, yes, but that is designed to be difficult to use to install the OS on someone else's Mac (or a virtual machine for that matter).

yes, that's why they right directly on the disc that it's for use on that system only.

you said they don't come with media to re-install the OS. they do. they don't come with a retail OS X disc that you can install on any system.
