Now if Microsoft would just get around to a simple update to Office 2008 (Mac) to address the crashing issues...
Nothing in software is perfect. Even if what you wrote does what you wanted perfectly, you'll always find room for improvement later. Anyway, it installed in a lot less time than any Windows service pack.
I miss my old BBS software that had a text file of tag lines and would rotate them between posts. Of course some don’t apply to as many people these days, so may not be understood.
Ya just gotta stay away from that key. :-)
Unfortunately I don't have much time to check out all the different features and applications. Eventually I'll give the wife a 24 inch iMac and the kids a 20 inch iMac. We won't be purchasing any additional Microsoft systems.
I have Vista on one system and it's slow considering it has dual 3.2Ghz and 3GB of memory.
If Linux had the Mac GUI I'd stick with Linux. But for the style, beauty, speed, reliability, ease of use, etc of the Mac, we'll migrate to Mac and leave Microsoft behind.
Question ... What’s a “panic” ?
as in “Resolves certain kernel panics.”
Thanks ...
Basically the “Black screen of death”
It caught my eye as being a cute name to call it - I kind of pictured that little logo with the feet they used to use running around bumping into things :-)
My heart flutters....
I've got some electrical tape. ;)
Re: kernel panics
Back on the Amiga it was called a “Guru Meditation.”

Will this update occur automatically, or should one do it manually?
If you are running OSX.5 Leopard, select “Software Update” under the black Apple and follow the prompts. If you’re on Tiger, the Apple menu is blue.
Thanks for the link, RS.
However, I have upgraded my G5 Tower to OSX.5.2 and have zero problems... no wireless printing problems (could be ‘cause I don’t run a wireless printer), the DVD player is working fine... no sound problems, etc., What do you think I am doing wrong? Could it be that I don’t have third party haxies running on my system?
I have yet to take the time to upgrade my Macbook Pro... I’ll let you know when I do and if there are any problems that are killers.
“Could it be that I don’t have third party haxies running on my system?”
If that’s the reason it will be really interesting when the SDK is released and all those third party hax ( programs ) hit the iphone.
I believe the plan is that iPhone apps will have to be vetted by Apple before they could be installed on unbroken iPhones. If the iPhone is jailbroken, then the breaker is at fault if an update breaks his haxies. I would also disagree that haxies are necessarily (programs).... they are unauthorized modifications to the OS. If your haxie or the system breaks on an update, then the problem is not with Apple... it is with the haxie publisher.
Interesting to see how this plays out -
If apple charges for this vetting, you’ve killed all the free apps.
If apple vets and gives out some sort of secret code to allow the 3rd party developer to install the app, THAT will simply be hacked.
If apple limits installing the apps to ones sold and distributed through itunes, then they are no longer third-party ... the developers are simply working for apple for some percentage of apples sales of their work.
