      It seemed to install correctly on my iBook, but on rebooting the Apple logo morphed into a deep red pentagram. Flames then started belching from the optical drive, the screen became a window into the lower reaches of hell, sulphurous fumes vented from the keyboard and all the cables caught fire.

      So, seems to be working okay - haven't noticed any other differences, and it's just as stable as it was before. Kind of disappointing, really...

      So you're saying the interface seems snappier?

      Been playing Doom 3 much lately, have we? ;)

      (Yes, I know it's not out for OS X yet; some of us have Apple laptops and PC desktops.)

      I think you're posting under the wrong topic. This is Security Update 2004-09-07 for Mac OS X, not Windows XP Service Pack 2.

      Sooo.... somehow you managed to install Windows on an iBook? And it works, you say? Sweet. Now I can go to Wal Mart and buy all the great software titles that are 'Windows Only'!

      Attention Windows-Lovin' Flamers and Trolls:

      This is a joke. Maybe not a super funny joke, but a joke. So, don't get your shorts in a twist over it. Take a deep breath...Hold it...Keep holding it....Aaaaaand release.

  2. Apple's forced upgrade plans by ZackSchil · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can't believe Apple would do something like this to 10.2 users! I paid $120 for Mac OS X v10.2 and now Apple refuses to fix critical security flaws in my OS, which is not yet 2 years old. I refuse to pay this annual Apple tax! And what's with the one mouse button, overpriced, non-upgradable hardware, combustible batteries, and abnormally long file copy times. I mean come on my 486 box with... wait, what?

    The update IS for 10.2 and 10.3 users? Oh. Good then. I don't really feel like deleting the other stuff I wrote. Good to get it out of the way anyway, I guess.

    Thanks Apple!

      I can't believe that Apple has 10.2 users. Nice to see that they are expanding the user base.

    At least so far. Nothing's tripping up, no "Shock and Awe"-worthy problems. And most importantly, my Ti-book (10.3.5) still doesn't work like a windows machine.
