MacFixIt Details Mac OS X 10.2.8 Bugs

Posted by michael on from the pioneers-get-arrows-in-back dept.

mneptok writes "Premier Macintosh troubleshooting site MacFixIt has just posted a detailed report on the bugs and broken features in Apple's latest point release for MacOSX. As reported previously on Slashdot, the 10.2.8 update was released and pulled within hours earlier this week. Many users upgraded before the update was pulled and are being bitten, and MacFixIt has run down the behavior you can attribute to Apple's goof."

    I am just sick of this! They come out with a stupid patch almost weekly,
    and then the damn patch crashes your machine so that you have to reinstall the OS...

    What?!? Apple!

    Oh, I thought this was a Microsoft article.

    Nevermind.

    It must be that Apple has finally made enough changes to the Mach microkernel that OSX is beginning to act like OS9, OS8, and OS7.

    I've had 2 bad power adapters, 2 bad motherboards, and bad memory for my iBook. Which I got in March.

    but it's pretty! what, you expected working hardware in addition to a pretty package? sucker!

    I bought a g4 eMac a few months ago and within 3 weeks it was in the shop for over $500 in work. Video card + monitor assembly was shot. A few weeks later, it was in the shop again for a bad motherboard. Not to mention the constant software issues. Aqua locks up solid after a few hours of actual usage. The apps that don't crash just plain suck (mail, safari, iTunes, i'm looking at you.) Don't even get me started on the horror that is printing from OS X.

    Typing this from my IBM thinkpad (running Debian) which hasn't had a single hardware or software issue in the 14 months i've owned it.

    Yeah, that's what I hate about Mac users, they're so defensive when you tell them about other good OSes or if you criticize their beloved Mac or Apple.
