Yeah, Baby.

I have Leo running on an old G4 1Ghz in the closet, so I updated it  
to 10.5.2 a few hours ago. I read Jerry's message and thought I'd  
check it out. Now, you must realize that machine is on a shelf in my  
closet--an arduous 8 foot walk from my desk. So I did what any lazy  
geek would do: I VNCed into it. I have Remote Desktop running on it  
and I use Chicken of the VNC to access it from my MacBook Pro  
(running Tiger still, but not for long) on my desktop over, oops, I  
haven't switched to ethernet--I'm still on wireless G, I just realized!

Anyway, I had fired up the new Safari and was checking out a few  
sites, and one site led to another and things were working fine and  
after about ten minutes of site-hopping thought, "Hey, I'm remotely  
accessing this machine over my network and running Safari from  
another computer and I forgot that I wasn't running Safari from my  
local computer!"

It wasn't until I was writing this note that I noticed that I was  
using wireless and not (what I thought was) Gigabit ethernet!

I guess that's the long version of, "Dang Skippy, it's fast!"

And to answer Jerry, all the discussion of the subject that I dug up  
through my black-belt-level Google-foo said no to the new webkit  
being in 10.5.2.

j.

P.S. Man, gotta lay off the Diet Coke after 10 at night!
