Three Mac models exist with USB, and no FireWire. These computers are supported by Mac OS X 10.3, but not 10.4. And I have them all: the original iMac, the original iBook, and the PowerBook G3 with a bronze keyboard and SCSI.
A later PowerBook G3/bronze keyboard was almost identical, but had FireWire and internal AirPort slot. There were a few different slight revisions of the iBook (I have the SE) and the iMac (Rev. B, which I have, and the "life savers" colored iMacs) model without FireWire.
Anyway, Apple screwed me here pretty good, if I cared about installing Tiger on these computers.
I have a new iBook and am looking forward to putting "Tiger" on it.
I also remember when Linux ran on a lot less powerful hardware and took less space and the same with Windows.
Not saying it is right or wrong...it just is.

I'm not complaining. The "screwed" line was delivered with tongue in cheek. I can install it on four other computers here that I use regularly.

Ah sorry for that... from one conservative Mac user to (I am pretty sure) another.
