I installed it as soon as I discovered that it was available; with a fresh SuperDuper! backup from last night I have No Fear... eusa_dance.gif

I pity those with a dial-up connection: 10.5.3 is around 420MB!

When I repaired permissions after the installation the only thing that came up was the same "ACL" doodad fixes that appear every time I repair permissions after upgrading to Leopard...

The only thing that I notice is that TechSurvivors initially failed to load and then loaded Very Slowly...

I believe that I am required to claim that my Mac now seems "snappier" even if it really doesn't feel that way...

Thanks for the list of 'fixes' Bob!

I'm looking for one more:

Spaces
Resolves conflicts with Office for Mac applications.

I don't figure Microsoft will ever fix it!

I should be hearing from Software Update any day now....
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

One thing that I noticed that seems to be related to the upgrade: when I started-up my iMac this morning and returned after it was finished booting the built-in iSight camera green light was on.  iChat was not running and my iChat status was "invisible." Restarting the iMac turned off the camera...

That's part of the new Security Update. When the Mac senses that you are not around (no keyboard/mouse activity for a certain period of time or no heavy sighing or cursing via the mic) it automatically turns on the camera and records what it sees. If you later find it was stolen, the police can watch the video to see who did the 'lifting.' I think Apple didn't mention that on the public 'features' list to keep the feature viable, so don't tell anyone about it or the thieves will start wearing masks when 'borrowing' a Mac. eek2.gif Not sure this will work for pre-Tiger machines.

This alleged "feature" sure isn't mentioned in the security update documentation...

Wait a minute... I found something about it here.

If I understand that correctly, somebody named Robert is getting rich off of this. Must be a scam.... police.gif

I downloaded last night, and have had no problems. Took about a half hour on mid-level DSL with my MBP.

First launch of each application took a little bit of time, but after that, every launch seems to be faster.
Ignore the argumentative nature of this poster. He is old and can't engage in meaningful dialog very long.
Therefore, management asks that you at least humor him. Thanks.

You don't think Apple would intentionally make all first restarts after an update/upgrade slower than normal so we'd always think things were snappier the next time it restarts...Nah! If I can think of that trick I'm sure Apple has already figured out something better! smile.gif laugh.gif
