A. You need 10.5 (leopard) or 10.6 (snow leopard) upgrades. Youll have to buy them from a mac store. You can just update your os software from 10.4 to 10.5 or 10.6 through the software update because these are new and different operating systems and are needed to be purchased.
If your machine doesnt have an intel processor then 10.6 wont work and youll have to settle for 10.5. From there you can just update the os to 10.5.8 through the software update thing under the apple icon, this is free.
Unless you know someone with a 10.5 install disk that wouldve come with a new (now old) mac then youll need to buy it.
