Who'll be the first to jump into the 'pool?' 
Not me! I'm waiting for the lifeguards to show up!

So Far So Good. The Grateful Dead sound just as good as they did before the update: Easy Wind (Live At Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY - 2/19//71) via Pandora.
Otherwise there's nothing to see here folks, so move along please...

Using the Combo updater...
I had the "normal" double restart, but aside from that, all appears normal (so far).
Safari is at v3.2.3 and PithHelmet still works. What other apps changed version numbers, I dunno.
My Acid 3 test with Safari remains at 75.
Repairing Permissions still yields many repairs.
Printing, networking, and internet all remain normal
No real issues have surfaced (yet). But no real enhancements/benefits seen either (yet).
IMNHO: Unless you're able to make a verified back up or two, I see no rush to install this critter.

I think this is new in 10.5.7--
Apple goes Green and has changed the Energy Saver light bulb (icon) in System Preferences from an incandescent to a CFL.

Hmm... I'm not seeing that on my MBP.

Well, I have discovered that my SuperDuper automated backups, which used to take 15 minutes, now take an hour and a half. I am in touch with Dave Nanian at ShirtPocket. He knows of no others that are experiencing this. His only suggestion was to turn off "Repair Permissions" in SuperDuper. That did not help.
I think SuperDuper is doing a full backup instead of a Smart Update as instructed. This is not a big problem for me, since I start a manual backup on one external drive at bedtime, and set an automated backup on a different drive at 5:00 a.m. I have defragged my internal drive and both of my external target (backup) drives.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions about what may be causing this and/or what to do about it?
Thanks!
Joe

Did you use the Incremental or the Combo updater? (I used the Combo.)

BTW, I still can't make out who the couple are in the "Accounts" icon...
Maybe Steve and Woz?

Wierd thing is I could not get my time machine back up to revert back to 10.5.6. It would hang after 6% complete.
Ended up reverting back from my SuperDuper back up.
I'll be watching the MF thread on this for a while before trying again.

Last night's automated SuperDuper backup finished in 16 minutes, even with "Repair Permissions" enabled.
This was after I defragged my external backup drives for the second time.
You might want to file this under "useless information."

I updated with Software Update. Maybe I'll go ahead update again using the Combo updater when I have the time.

Did you get that bulb at Home Depot or Lowe's?

My crashing and freezing after updating I am pretty sure is due to a cheap USB 2 controller for a hard drive enclosure I bought before Circuit City went down.
After unplugging the hard drive I have had no ill effects so far from updating to OS 10.5.7.
