How's 10.2.6 compared with 10.2.5?

Hey! Who said anything about guiting smoking?
I had to go jet for some of those cancer boys is all.

What I typed/said stands.

How you came off [in my eyes] was a negative towards anything other than your browsers-of-choice.

Just as below will be my browsers-of-choice.


Granted IE isn't the greatest.Fact is I wish NS hadn't given away their family roots.
I was a diehard NS person till they went the low road. Even their newsiest version leaves much to be desired.

I've tried and still am giving Safari a once/twice etc over.
For me the speed of safari isn't there. Perhaps I have something wacky going on with my (plural) systems.?.
All the other features are fluff for the exception of the taps yet I'm not to fond of the tabs either.

Like I mentioned somewhere up there, Safari is not up to snuff just yet.
Maybe down the road yes but it's not for me now.

OH YEAH! ((( In my opinion ))) that is. biggrin.gif


Now to be a bit on the "harsh" side.
I really couldn't care less about the subject of browsers.
They're all goofy. As it stands IE is my main of choice.
Safari and an outdated NS I use for web manhandling.

Catch that last sentence DB. Especially the manhandling. smile.gif


Now back on topic.

2.6. works just fine. I was going to suggest give it run on your other drive first.

TOO LATE! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I use Safari and Camino (latest renderings) almost exclusivly.  I have Omniweb but it is slow. I deleted everything MS on my puter but PS Elements 2.0 snuck it back on board, oh well! 10.2.6 has worked like a charm for me so I am a happy camper. biggrin.gif

No probs here, with 10.2.6, but then again, there weren't any before! I did both the "software update" from the prefs panel, and then downloaded the "combo" updater, and ran that, to get anything the other missed, and there must have been something, 'cause when I tried to run the combo updater first, it said that I didn't have the "necessary" software. . . nono.gif

As many of you know from previous threads, my advise is to stay away from upgrades especially if you have no problems with the current version. Of course if you have kernal panics due to a USB hub, then you have no choice.

My advice is to check in daily at MacInTouch and see what's up. smile.gif


http://www.macintouch.com/


See what some people are reporting about the Updates.

Some Updates seem to have very specific Bugs.

The vast majority of Users probably don't have problems.

Kind of on impulse. I erased my other Drive.

Cloned 10.2.2 to it. Everything. And Updated to 10.2.6

This way I can go back if I need to.

So far, so good. smile.gif

Well.
Not much difference. Suddenly USB seems better after all, but I could be imagining this.
That
Image Capture & scanner problem I sneaked into Tom's thread is resolved for me. I understand that Rainer, who has followed all this but is ultra-busy elsewhere, finally tackled his own Canon scanner problem with VueScan and then got CanoScan Toolbox to work.
Costly bugger, VueScan, but probably worth it in view of the glow blush-anim-cl.gif surrounding it.

Maybe I'd not have gone beyond 10.2.4 had it not been for that disastrous modem issue it had for some. Obviously not MamaMoose.
I'm delighted, Tom, to see you so happy in the sandpit after tremendous hassle. biggrin.gif

On your Safari issue, did you get to trash the .com.apple.Safari.plist?
It really does help.
