Still no tabs then?

ColoJohnBoy · Sep 7, 2005, 01:13 PM

Just downloaded and about to restart. So freaking excited!!! I wonder if iPod nano is in the Apple Stores right now. There's one down the street from my school...

mac-er · Sep 7, 2005, 01:16 PM

No more brushed metal.

Guess its plastic for everything now.

Cougarcat · Sep 7, 2005, 01:17 PM

Yes yes yes! Nested folders! I've waited eons for this.

Flux Harmonic · Sep 7, 2005, 01:17 PM

The installer is broooooooooken.

"Please quit iTunes before beginning this update."

Over, and over, and over.....

atakordie · Sep 7, 2005, 01:17 PM

Thank goodness - I've got so many playlists they just keep scrolling and scrolling.

I love the new look, it's sexy.

Lacero · Sep 7, 2005, 01:21 PM

Will install now.

This is so nice. New hardware and new software. I will be celebrating today by not working.

ColoJohnBoy · Sep 7, 2005, 01:21 PM

Beautiful. Couldn't be happier.

mac-er · Sep 7, 2005, 01:22 PM

Wonder how long it will be before the other iLife apps, Safari, and the Finder become plasticized as well.

GroundLoop · Sep 7, 2005, 01:22 PM

Well, I am downoading it now. Pretty excited about the new folder options. Especially excited about getting my Nano. Hopefully it will be shipped by the end of the week.

I agree. It'll take a while before I get used to it...

EGT · Sep 7, 2005, 01:26 PM

Plastic like Mail 2.0? I like the brushed iTunes interface!

Like the sound of smart shuffle though.

Daveway · Sep 7, 2005, 01:28 PM

Apple has answered my plea!

Finally we have support for lyric syncing.

MattG · Sep 7, 2005, 01:28 PM

Has anyone else noticed that Quicktime 7.0 (final) for Windows is now available?

Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it karma? I've been a good boy lately...
