Fin08 eliminated the Mass Edit tool entirely. Its functions are now available much of the time in other tools. If you want a baseline equivalent, it might be the Selection Tool. Everything Mass Edit could do is available in the Selection Tool, along with much more. I have quickly come to prefer

10.3 to 10.4 is painless, unless you need to do file sharing over Ethertalk (highly unlikely). Upgrading to 10.5 is a much bigger step, and I disrecommend it. I use 10.5 exclusively now, but I had to upgrade much of my software to get there. I did upgrade one computer from 10.4, and I found it to

Well, actually not like that in any way. The Mass Mover functions have been integrated into the baseline function of the program. It's actually a big improvement. On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 12:51 PM, dhbailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah, the way a dog which has its gonads removed is fixed.

Wow Robert, I had no file sharing trouble in my venture from 10.3 to 10.4. In fact, file sharing is one area that has been trouble-free for me all the way thru OS X. But the upgrade the 10.5 was quite problematic, as yours. I'm convinced mine was due to the gawd-awful Migration

This has always been the tradeoff between Apple and Microsoft. Microsoft tends to value backwards compatibility, but moves very slowly to evolve their OS and software into superior products, since they are stuck in a quagmire of backwards compatibility. Even the ages old 8086 processor
