An anonymous reader writes "MacRumors.com posted a massive rumor roundup of all the major rumors surrounding Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference which starts next week. There's been talk of 970 PowerMacs, PowerBooks and Panther... seems like the biggest uncertainty is whether or not 970 PowerMacs will ship or not."

    "I've heard from others that this is also true of regular (non-VPN) NFS mounts as well."

    Happens to me all the time. This is what I normally do.

    On my powerbook.

    Mount a NFS drive at work.

    At the end of the day. I close the lid (Putting the laptop to sleep)

    When I get home I open the lid (auto detects I am on a new network gives me a new IP adress)

    Opps my NFS drive is still mounted but their is no routing to it.

    Now when any application tries to read it you get the spinny sprial ball. And it will never end. If you are lucky you may get to the terminal and do a reboot but never try to unmount the drive or even go to you /Volume/NFS directory if you do then your terminal will hang (Thus wishing you can run the same application twice). Now it is time to admit defeat so you reboot the system. But all the applications close except for the finder. Thus it will not reboot. Last step it to hold down the powerbutton until forced power off. Wait 30 seconds power it back on and run FSCK and wait. That is my only Major Issue with OS X
