Re: 7B28 on top of 7B21
It worked out fine for me... no trouble at all during the installation/update

A fun thing to try in Panther.
Open Calculator.app
Do the following calculation:
1503.93 - 863

I think the answer, from the paper tape, reads...
1503.93 -
863 =
640.9300000000001 ?
It should be 640.93 on anything else...
If this is what he is talking about...
Otherwise I have no clue!!!!

Interesting Screenshots (7B21)
http://www.macosxrumors.com/
MacOSXRumors has a brief article about 7B28, but doesn't really ay anything we don't already know, however, what's interesting are the screen shots they posted for 7B21, which contained some features I hadn't heard reported before.
Date and Time - Time announcement
This is a wonderful added functionality that I've been waiting for for some time. I wish now that they would put in an alarm clock.
Exchange support on Mail
We've all heard about this one. Still nice to see it.
Exchange support on Address Book
No surprises there.
Image Capture sharing
Now this is nice. Look for shared devices, Share my devices, Web Sharing with authentication.
Network 6 to 4
Now this rocks! 6 to 4 is a translation protocol that allows you to connect to an IPv6to4 compatible device, and enables Mac OS X to understand IP6to4 packets, which translates the IPv4 client and resolves it on a larger IPv6 network. The IPv6 network sees the IPv4 client as an IPv6 client through the IPv6to4 router.
Sweet!
Also, it shows in Network a connection over Firewire! Woohoo!
Can you say IPoF and PPPoF? Can you say *fast* networking between two computers? Not a standard yet, but it's cool. (Sure it could be done by unsupported means, but being supported is way cool.)
TextEdit kern editing
TextEdit supports Kernning? Great! What is Kernning? It controls the spacing of your text. So if you're getting spacing related to spacing, you no longer have to fudge with a kern editor, TextEdit has it built in!
I'm so drooling here.

Re: Interesting Screenshots (7B21)
Thanks for the information it's nice to see some of the unannounced features. Though I don't see any advantage for firewire networking since gigabit ethernet is still faster.

Gigabit Ethernet / Firewire IP
Yeah, not only do not all Macs have Gigabit Ethernet (like the iBook, the 12" PowerBook which is essentially a glorified iBook that Marketing had its way with, and the eMac), but Cat 6 cables are Expensive, as are Cat 6 compatible switches.
Firewire is far cheaper.

I haven't experienced any problems with the movement of my mouse when using Expose.
I did notice that the calculator has a different look this time around.
Re: Kruder
Yeah dude you are so right! For years now I've been thinking that its and Air tune
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/AS...3315/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_11_1/028-2914474-0589329
If you listen to Talisman which the sample above isn't enough to hear you could see where I could get it wrong. I think that even Surfers could have sampled it maybe.
Thanks for setting it strait. Funny cause I have that K&D CD but have not listened to it in years..
At least we have good taste in music

I have had odd mouse problems in the past including sticky mousing with 3rd party mice. The only cure I have found is repairing Disk Permissions. Sometimes unplugging the mouse and plugging it back it will work but it never really fixes it.
Re: Gigabit Ethernet / Firewire IP
Actually Gigabit Ethernet will work fine with Cat-5e. You can get it for $26 for 100ft or 1000ft for $100. Last I checked that's a lot cheaper then firewire cables. Also 1394a is limited to just under 15 feet for a maximum length.
I was unaware that Apple was shipping models with out gigabit. For some reason I thought it was a standard across the board. I can see the benefit of firewire for those models.
