• so i could be as well off just buying a single user licence and updating both the desktop and the laptop?

    I am more than willing to pay the money and do it legitimately, so may well go down that route - may even take the laptop into the mac store and get them to do the upgrade on there and then take the discs home to upgrade the desktop

    I love the forum - the fact that I can get simple straightforward advice on so many issues.

    cheers y'all

    In order for this to work you will need the same processor architecture on both computers. Older Macs use PowerPC and newer ones use Intel. I'm doubtful you can get Leopard in PPC.
