Oh no!

This update erased my HD! It messed up everything! Damn you Apple! I'm going to buy a PC tomorrow!

I just thought I'd get that out of the way. Nothing to see here, move along.

10.2.6 totally screwed my system! I hate Apple

[Anonymous Coward]

Ok, not really, but I figured I'd get it out of the way now because somebody is going to say it...happens every time with every point release.

Anyway, 10.2.6 update went fine on my Ti Ghz. All systems go and everything normal. Of course, everything was fine before the update too. I notice no difference in casual use.

Panther 10.3 and 10.2.6

My guess is that they are going to make these real some upgrades until panther.

That way they can be on 10.2.9 right before panther comes out, and it won't confuse the artsy people that use macs.

Re:10.2.6 out for at least an hour...

At this rate, they'll have to rename the game UT2k4.

Re:Repair Permissions

[switcha]

Why is it called 'repair permissions', when it actually runs a slew of other tests like fsck?

Because, due to the nature of the marketing of this product, it's made to be "Grandma Friendly".

Doesn't "Repair Permissions" sound better than "I'm gonna do a whole bunch of shit to your hard drive right about now buddy. You sure you want to do this?"?

Re:Oh no!

[Jeremy Erwin]

That's because there was a space character in your Hard drive's name. This is a known problem, and will be fixed shortly.
