wow.

who is going to get fired?

You'll notice the weather widget is going to be showing you the weather from Phoenix, NY for some stupid reason.

So, is Tiger Snappy™?

His computer must have melted....he hasn't posted in 45 minutes.

It is actually, on a G5 it is very noticeable.

What a night mare....Remote Desktop 2.1 is dead after install....I can't install in the other computers now....more in a sec...

Build version is....8A428

Back to this nightmare....I can't launch Destop Remote 2.1 no matter what I do....repaired permissions, threw out preference (for RD), re-installed RD... me with a throny bat....I can't work without it.

You shoulda checked the Tiger broken apps thread. It's mentioned there. ARD 2.2 solves that problem, but it's not out yet.

P.S. OS backups are good before any update, especially a new OS install.

It might have been wise to wait for Remote Desktop 2.2.

It has been posted on numerous sites that the current version of RD was not going to be able to run on 10.4 and that Apple was going to be releasing RD 2.2.

Now you tell me...just kidding...I read that but I completely forgot in the excitement. So now I have to look for a version of VNC that works in Tiger...

Other than that, it looks pretty cool. I have to finish work before I can play with all the new features...Spotlight says that it will take 9 hours to index my drives. I think I will wait till I leave then let it do it overnight.

Dashboard is just what I expected.

Safari is very Snappy™ (sorry, I couldn't help myself).

I have to find some h.264 material to test QT7 although my card will not be able to use Core Image/Video (not supported).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think CI/CV has anything to do with H.264.

You are right...I was making a general comment about my video card.

Anybody know of real good h.264 material to test. Trailers? or Free stuff...nobody is left at the office so pron would also be good...

So did everyone's macmall order ship Wednesday, or did some have it ship on Thursday?

I just ordered today with Saturday delivery. I know its a big chance, but I had to take it.

Some people have been reporting on Macfixit that PC Mall has been calling them and asking to return their copy of Tiger so that they could ship it back to them on the official release date. So it's possible that you may not get it early.

C.A.S.

Can you check this file

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/rbconfig.rb

and see if -arch i386 is set for the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables

I actually mentioned that a few days ago.

Don't worry, RD 2.2 is already for sale at apple but not download.

There better be an update for this (and I mean free one)...having to spend another $500 just because I updated with what I would call a very minor update is beyond me. I will return to 10.3.9 and stay there and only be out $119 instead of $500.

I can't see Apple charging for it, they are probably just waiting for the official release of tiger.
