Any reason to keep 10.4.6 tiger DVD's?

With my mini shipping with 10.6 snow and the restore discs, is there any reason why I should keep the tiger OS dvd's I bought retail? I bought them for my old G4 and ended up selling the computer.

I also have 2 reatil CD's for 10.2.8 OSX, are these worth anything?
 
Not really. File them in your software box where all your other old crap goes.

You do have a box for old software, right?
 
10.2's not worth a lot. But hop on ebay, type in osx 10.4, ogle the pricing, and for fun click "completed listings". Then it will become clear what your next step is.
I just found this out today.

edit: forget all that I said above, just ship me the the tiger discs for the cost of shipping and I'll dispose of them for you :sneaky: :hmm:
 
Or, if you don't have a physical box, you can image the disks and save them on your hard drive for a rainy day. The disks are no good on the Mini (it is incredibly difficult to install an older version of OS X than what shipped with the Mac in question). And you cannot install anything older than 10.4 on any intel mac.
 
The 10.4 retail discs are only PPC as far as I am aware. They included x86 versions with the new Intel macs when they came out.

And Tiger is about as far as someone still running a PPC Mac probably wants to go for the best balance between performance/features.
