Not trolling but, doesn't it seem unfair to compare any modern Computer to something that is 5 to 7 years old.

I could compare my 2.0 Ghz HP Laptop running XP Pro to an iMac I had in '98.

I love my HP more than that iMac (slow & and what's up with that hockey puck mouse?).

Not really a fair comparison, is it?

READ ME--really! by catdevnull · 2004-02-25 03:33 · Score: 1

Be sure to repair permissions or do any other disk maintenance voodoo that makes you feel best BEFORE applying this (or any other patches) from Apple. I'm pretty sure that's the official line from Apple regarding updates. If it isn't, it should be.

Immediately after applying the updates, I, and several other at MacFixit.com, reported kernel panics when changing locations on powerbooks. This was fixed by repairing permissions with Disk Utility. The problem was only with 10.3.2 not under 10.2.x. Your mileage may vary. Caveat emptor!

HELP! by Anonymous Coward · 2004-02-25 18:25 · Score: 0

I'm running OS 10.2.8, and my computer is having some problems. The main thing is that my I cannot click and drag items in the Finder. I've tried everything, from repairing permissions, to optimizing the system, and even trying to go back and load OS 10.2 from CD; it would give up before I could get it loaded. None of these things have worked. I don't know the language for Terminal, so I haven't tried that yet. If anyone has any good ideas, I would really appreciate the help.
