I doubt the music folder would need to be copied over again; all the music is already on the iPod. Now you're home folder is "only" 9GB.
Got a tip for us?

i cannot give you a direct comparison because my system cannot be used in os9 side, but having compared responsiveness of other os9 protools systems and this system of mine, i would say this is on par. finally.
i can put the system to a +80% stress and it is still responsive. haven't tried to maxx it more because i mainly do live foh mixing and need to spare a little resources for the unexpected... i run protools in 44.1kHz sessions with 256 hardware buffer which means under 6ms latency, which means i am able to provide the band some monitor mixes, too.
i'm running os 10.3.4 and protools 6.4 using a 1.25GHz powerbook that has 1GB memory and a 7200rpm internal hard drive. the digi 002R interface is connected to internal firewire buss, and lacie fw400 drive is connected to external firewire buss (pcmcia card). the system drive has been partitioned for performance (first 15GB for system, the rest for user files).

Dude, didn't you get the sarcasm in that post you quoted??
Apple is the only hardware manufacturer that can run mac os X, so it's only logical they always ship the latest version on the new machines. It's not like you have to pay more for it. It would be rather silly to have a BTO option for a couple of os x versions.
So you don't have to be outraged

Ah, so you're the guy who set the record a while back with over $25K in iTunes sales.
MikeTheC said:Uh oh, dude, that's not enough. Here's a sure-fire ritual that will appease the angry wroth of the Mac gods you have annoyed with your childish, pedantic whining:
You need to sing the Star Spangled Banner as a Gregorian Chant in Irish Gaelic while walking around the outside of your office -- backwards -- three times on one foot while wearing shorts and a 3-layer parka which specifically has a Hawaiian shirt-style print on it. And, most importantly, you must do this on a Tuesday between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. However, you can't start on an odd-numbered minute unless you start in the bottom half of the hour, but then you have to finish on an even-numbered second.
I hope that clears the matter up for you. BTW, I really do feel sorry for someone in your precarious predicament.
Oh, don't be like that... I was just trying to make a light-hearted point about relying on a new release for production purposes.
Maybe it sounded like whining to you but I've go to make sure that our magazine and a number of publications go to press according to schedule. I don't need any last-minute incompatibilites between 10.3.5 & Xpress/Adobe CS/Suitcase to solve...
I wouldn't mind if it was a home machine but I'd rather these new G5s ran on 10.3.3 (I understand why they don't). At least that's a known quantity and well-tested on our current set-up (although it's introduced small probs with Pshop and odd artifacts -- nothing major.)
Just remember the reported hassles with 10.2.7?
Wasn't that pulled at the last minute?

You guys, lighten up!!! The posters were only joking, even I joined in. It's really funny, I got a good laugh out of that "dance." No one was actually outraged, and I don't think he was directly saying that you were whining. You were whining compared to the needed dance, but not really in real life.

Actually, 10.2.8 was pulled because of the problems they were having. 10.2.7 was a very nice copy (I ran it myself

Well, I liked Konfab., but it took my F8 key I need in Excel, which is a critical app for me. I wasn't able to remap the F8 key to something else. So Konfab.....OUT!

That would be really cool. But it may just be a way to monitor CPU die temperature? We'll find out soon. 10.3.5 has been seeded.

Man, it's getting too hard to figure out who's kidding now. I know the "outraged" guy was joking, and I think you might be, but I'm not sure. Really, three levels of nested sarcasm is too much for my brain to handle, especially when it's subtle sarcasm.
So, in the future (or at least while we all get up to speed on the finer points of written humor) will everyone please lay your sarcasm on as thick as possible? Drawing a ridiculous conclusion from and article or post can be fun, but make sure to throw in some really impossible claim, like "I heard 10.3.5 eats children" or "With the release of 10.3.5 I see Apple getting more than 3% market-share soon"
That'll help a lot. Thanks.
ps. I've been told that smilies help, but I can never figure out what they mean.

That's not a software issue. Its hardware. The iSight just uses up too much power. Apple needs to redesign the iSight or have it shut off if not in actual use (firmware fix).
From my experience and the illumination of the above bit of info recently...almost every Firewire issue I've personally had or worked with business/family on has been caused by this.
