Ok so I have leopard and I want to upgrade to snow leopard I know I have to buy the OS but I was wondering if it is better to let some one like best buy install it or to install it myself.

any help would be great
 
It's really up to how savy you are. I have installed Mac OS X on a few machines and it's really quite easy. All I'd suggest is give yourself about a week before hand and start backing things up. Don't rush into reloading or you might miss something. Confirm you have all your documents and such backed up, and try to get any informations regarding installed programs you have loaded/registered/purchased. Once everything is backed up, start the upgrade process.

Now, a side note, I'm very, very, VERY much against upgrades. Unless it's an upgrade from a clean install, problems almost always persist. The drive is also more cluttered etc etc... I'd strongly advise doing a fresh install if at all possible. This is the reason I suggest backing up everything... If not to do a clean install, just in case something does go wrong and you're forced to roll back or do a clean install.
 
Installing OS X is very easy, everything just "works". I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 after several months, and I had a few issues afterwards, but it was easier then doing a clean install and reconfiguring everything.
 
yeah I ended up doing it myself and had no problems afterward or at least no problems to this point and its been almost a week since I did the install
