I *always* wait for at least the first bug-fix update to a new OS rather than installing it the moment it becomes available. If you install a point zero OS you are basically an unpaid, real world, beta tester for the company. There's a reason they call it the bleeding edge. On Fri, Dec 20, 2013

Godfrey, that is interesting. Are you doing that as your job responsibilities (are you still working at Apple?), or as a part of a special group as a side gig? As for beta versions (when pronounced as in Greek (and possibly British?): [be-te]), I like the saying that it is called that way

You should see the progress bar in the App Store app showing it downloading. It's a very large download … 4 or 5 gigabytes plus … which will take overnight on most home network services. (I have decent service here; a 2.75G file I needed from the office took almost three hours to download. At
