Welcome to IWETHEY!

Post #207,625 by pwhysall 5/16/05 1:45:46 PM Reply	TORA! TORA! TORA! It's here, oh joy! Oh rapture! Installation is a doddle. Seriously. I've never met an installer as simple to use as this. Fifteen minutes or so for an "Archive & Install/Preserve users" installation. Applications work after installation! Coo! Minor hurdles: I had to make use of my emergency Firewire connection to the PC to install the Stuffit Expander, so that I could reinstall my third-party wireless NIC driver. Which, magically, remembered its registration info. Score! I also had to upgrade GPGMail to the version that supports 10.4 (that's 1.1, folks). Is it faster? Well, I think so. Safari definitely seems snappier. I like the new Mail. Getting rid of the drawer with the folder list in it is a definite step forward. I've got Jabber working in iChat, neener neener[0]. Dashboard is pretty, and nifty. How much I'll use it remains to be seen. [0] Change the port to 5222 and turn off SSL.

Typically people sit around in there and check it every 5-10 minutes (or even longer later at night) to see if anyone is saying something. If you pop in and sit, someone will eventually say 'hi'.
