OS X 10.6: fast, good, cheap.

Post #313,194 by pwhysall 8/28/09 11:00:13 AM Reply	OS X 10.6: fast, good, cheap. Seems to do all three. Evolution, not revolution. But at the price, it's worth having. Flawless installs on both computers here.

Still a nice savings.~~ Guess I was up too late for math last night :-) My free space before was 59.08, after was 72.44. What I did last night was (after-before) * conversion, when what I should have done was (after * conversion) - before. Conversion = 3.7 / 4 (72.44 * 3.7 / 4) - 59.08 = 7.93 That's more in line with what everybody else is reporting. Still, a nice chunk of extra space.

At least a third of the 23 screens treat under-the-hood elements so abstruse to my lay sensibilities that they might as well be essays on semiotics composed in Cretan Linear B. But the guy talks a good game, has edified me times past to the extent I'm capable of taking instruction, and if he's good enough for John Gruber, I'm on board.
