Hi all, Thanks (so much) to Sam resurrecting my iMac from the dead I've now been able to play around with Snow Leopard - my iMac died right after I installed it! And no, the events were unconnected .... I'd even been checking out new iMac configurations and costs as I had a feeling that it was going to be unfixable. Well, I won't be going 64bit for a while then sadly/hopefully, but at least I've saved a pile of cash. For now.
Snow Leopard is faster to do everything and so far, two bugs which have annoyed me from 10.4 onwards have been fixed: I don't run as the admin user and so have to Authenticate whenever I change the applications folder. Previously, at random times, the OS would fail to bring up the Authenticate dialog and just tell me I couldn't make the change. It now works every single time. Wonderful. Secondly, every time I launched Address Book it would tell me that I'd updated my details and asked if I wanted to notify people. I wrote to Apple a 2nd time after they still hadn't fixed it in Leopard, but now it's fixed! And I got back 25GB after completing the install :-) And it was £22 from those nice people at Cancom. What is there to complain about? (Well, there's probably something annoying waiting there that I've not discovered yet, but so far it's a smooth and polished update). Stephen P.S. I did have to pay £9.05 to upgrade to V5 of the fabulous Launchbar admittedly, but that's been the only paid upgrade and it does offer a LOT more than just Snow Leopard compatibility for my ££ (www.obdev.at ) "Aid is money taken from the taxation of the poor of the rich world, and given to the rich of the poor world, who then repay it to the rich of the rich world" - unknown --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
