Snow Leopard Woes

[sethgray]

So in order to upgrade my mac OS X from Tiger to Snow Leopard I have to buy the Mac Box Set which comes with iLife and iWork as well as the OS 10.6 upgrade. I'm so pissed. Spend 169 dollars for two programs I don't need or want and will never use? Not hardly. Of course it's all moot since I don't have 169 dollars to spend anyway. There's a rumor going around online that buying the 29.99 upgrade for the Leopard will also work for Tiger, but one of the comments on the site I read that on said he tried that and it didn't work.

I've even tried to find a reliable torrent to download, that's how desperate I am, but I can't find one that looks worth it.

I need to go to Leopard at the very least to use this program to help me with website themes. *sigh* I don't suppose anyone out there has a disk they could lend me? I tried to use my friend's 10.6 start-up disk on mine but that didn't work, which was depressing. I guess I'll just have to keep on keeping on.
