Mac OS X 10.2.4 GM?

1.42 G4 System

Off the subject, but i would like to know how robotrenegade has a 1.42ghz G4 System when they haven't even built any yet and are not do too until later this month, cause I want one:D
 
10.2.3

I've always pronounced it

Ten option-8-subscripted bullet two option-8-subscripted bullet three.

- though I've known others to prounounce it

Ten period 2 period 3. That never seemed right because periods denote the end of a thought.

Ten decimal 2 decimal 3 might work...

I don't get the "point" thing because my Zapf Dingbats is broken, though I suppose the < and > symbols could substitute for points. However, I've never seen it written as 10>2>3.

If the symbols between the numbers were just a really small point size, then 10 oh 2 oh 3 would work...

Or maybe I'm just an idiot?....:D
 
Jezz, apple is creating its own links.

(I posted this in the Xserve thread also)

Somebody didn't notice we weren't up to 10.2.4 yet... Look at OS.
 
XServer hardware/OS version?

So, am I reading this right? MacOS X Server 10.2.4 up for 54 days prior to 2/2/2003 running on dual 1.33GHz processors? If that's true, Apple has been using today's just released hardware and upcoming software update for at least the past two months. How can that be? I thought the proposed GM for 10.2.4 was much more recent than that.
 
I got the update package from a freind and I tried it out on a beige G3 300 and it was pretty much the same. I really didn't see any diffs.
 
I was just comparing it as far as looks. And what difference does it make if it's unsupported if I have it installed and running?

It means that things like improvements to certain aspects (IE QuartzExtreme) would largly go unnoticed on a unsupported system.

Not trying to take away from your assesment totally dude, just saying.

good one.

But like what did the updgrade say was improved?
 
Ah maybe some better frames running games?

How about my Epson printer Support.
Sure it is 'supported' but does it work? Not really. :(

Gimp is annoying to install I must say.

gimp or gimp-print? gimp is the GNU Image Manipulating Program, a pretty fancy, free image editor a la photoshop (and many say just as powerful). gimp print is a set of open source drivers for OS X, and it's not tedious to install by any stretch of the imagination. all you do is click the install and then click continue, agree, and so on. it's totally automated.

and even if it weren't, it's a one time thing if they have your printer driver.

Gimp print. I went through a 10 step process and nothing.

Bah.

And if they didn't give me this POS (damn you club mac) I would of had a working printer, instead of one that bleeds on the page, crops the page, prints is diagonally and lets see...

Make lines. yeah.

and your printer was on the list of printers gimp print has drivers for or not?
 
I really hope 10.2.4 fixes the blurry fonts on iMac flat panels. Text smoothing is terrible...feel like I need glasses or something...
 
Text Smoothing

Go into the System Preferences/General panel at the bottom of the window and try some of the other font/text smoothing settings. Be sure you've selected font smoothing for flat panels, and text smoothing font size that you find most appealing. You can even turn it completely off for font sizes 12 point and smaller, if you prefer jagged text.
 
Thanks for the tips, but I've tinkered with all settings and the fonts are still blurry. Sure I can turn text smoothing off, but then my display looks like crap, all jagged and stuff. Besides, is this really a solution? Blurry text on iMacs is not an isolated problem...just a few links where this is obvious...

10.2.4 please fix the blurry text!

Apple won't admit there is an issue...but it looks pretty cut and dry to me...

i'm sure that it looks different on an lcd, but i have no problems with font smoothing at all. all of the problem apps in the osx screenshots are carbon (they used ie for an example for crying out loud) and don't use the ATSUI (i'm sure i got that wrong) font rendering available to cocoa apps. those osx screenshots are also from 10.1 (maybe 10.0). in any case, there is no way the smoothing looks better in xp, i've used chimera on a fp imac in 10.1.5 and it's carbon-smoothed text still looks better than xp.
