Salt Peanuts Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 oh, and dinner. Was going to buy Leopard, but the local Apple store was overflowing with people, so I didn't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Stupid f'ing UPS, they've had my package of parts less than 50 miles away for the past three days. No mini3-2 this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Stupid f'ing UPS, they've had my package of parts less than 50 miles away for the past three days. No mini3-2 this weekend. I had a similar thing happen to me where an item I bought was shipped via their "3 Day Select" service. The package sat at a local sorting facility for two days so it can be delivered on the 3rd day from shipping. Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 The pisser is that it's been 5 days in transit for a trip that usually takes 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Man, that's annoying, Nate. I'm hoping that FedEx tracking is actually accurate and deliver the Gilmore Lite tomorrow as the tracking page states. Maybe I'll actually get to use the new source.

Salt Peanuts Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Yep. I ended up taking that Audiogon deal I posted after the person in line before me didn't end up buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 other than the iron, that sounds like a fun filled purchase combo! Feist is so fucking good. have you installed Leopard yet? I've listened to some of her songs (aside from the one on the nano ad) and been meaning to get her albums - haven't gotten around to listening to them yet, though. And nope, I haven't installed Leopard yet, but will in couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Well after a little scare with my iBook, which where I'm typing this from, I just started the Leopard install process on my iMac as I watch the World Series. I'll play with it once I'm done working on a group project for a continuing ed class (stupid furthering my education, LOL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Okay, so the Leopard installation went smoothly, and I've checked most of the applications I use and they work fine. Few things - Safari is running better than the beta (duh). No random crashes in middle of surfing and I think it's marginally faster than beta, but I could be imagining that.Stacks are stupid. It may be useful if you only have handful of document/downloads, but that's not the case here. I like the Tiger's folder on Dock better.I love Quick Look - I make multiple revisions of same documents and it makes finding the right one easier.On the similar note, I really love Cover Flow for my picture folder.Jury's still out on Spaces. I'm still playing around with it and I like it so far.Time Machine....I've no idea. My backup drive had died last week so I need to get one before I use this feature.Transparent menu bar could be annoying with some background. Oh, and I just ordered extra memory for my iMac.

Salt Peanuts Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Oh, and one more thing. The little "light" that lights up on the dock to indicate the running app is bit hard to see. It looks neat, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Well, I got myself a big external drive and have just started the Time Machine. We'll see how well it works, well, hopefully, I won't have to see how well it works. In any case, the initial backup is going to take a while, it looks like, even with the Firewire drive.

Salt Peanuts Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Leopard, for the most part, is pretty snappy. My machine's iMac 2GHz Core 2 Duo with 1GB of memory. Non-Intel-native programs, like MS Office programs, affects it noticeably, especially while using the Spaces. Of course, this is with the Time Machine performing the initial backup in the background, too. Oh, while I'm liking the Spaces, there are some odd quirks that I haven't really looked into yet.

Salt Peanuts Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I'm liking the improvements on the Mail. To Do and Notes are nice additions since now I can add notes/to do list within Mail. I know it's not a big deal for most people, but it's useful for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Also, let us know how it sounds. Ok, so the HCT/Dared arrived this afternoon. Initial thoughts have me laughing Dr. Evil style that I paid as little as I did for it. For one thing it's in pretty good shape, just a minor mark here and there and it sounds pretty decent. There's something a bit artificial about it but I don't really care about its performance as a headphone amp, I'll be much more interested to get it home and see how it does driving a small pair of bookshelf speakers. I've got a little pair of Boston Acoustics HD-5s that are itching for something to shake the dust off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
