    Just in case nobody else posts it, here's the obligatory performance increase post:
    I just installed this update, and wow! I don't know how to describe it, but my Mac just seems much snappier! It's amazing how Apple increases the performance of the OS with every release. Thanks Apple, you rule!

    I'll do you one better:

    1. On the Apple menu, choose Software Update
    2. If updates are available, click Install.

    Boy howdy, that Windows Update sure is easy in comparison. "You MUST install Direct X 9 separately from everything else, reboot seventy-eleven times, and dance backwards across the carpet while holding a DDR 2700 DIMM...."

    that this makes their PowerBook 17" waaaaay faster?

    Yeah, me neither. :-)

    ... and from VirtualPC, you have to do that while standing upside down on one hand, with Yoda on one foot banging you with a stick while you try to balance rocks with your mind. ... and then your X-Wing sinks. I hate it when that happens.

    IDE type Hard drives have an area of space reserved for "reallocating" bad sectors. If your disk is really bad this area will fill up.

    Right, and when it fills up, everything overflows and the loose bits sit on the bottom of the hard drive case... that's why you hear the grinding noise.

    Are you sure that you are using Mac OS X 10.4 and not the online retailer TigerDirect.com? Some people get those confused.
