Re: Life After 10.2.1

The iBook in my office still soldiers on in muted rage ;)

Some good things to come out of 10.2.1:

- 'got SCSI support for my obscure Ricoh external CDR again ... well,
with toast anyway.

- all that post install optimisation has given this older G4 a bit of
a skip in it's step again; The genie effect seems a little smoother,
The get info window pops up a little faster etc.

- The mail.app seems to be much improved. 'been having 'sending'
problems with Telstra mail servers and the mail.app, but it seems far
more reliable in the (disclaimer) day of testing since the install.

- Sharing between an OSX and OS 9 box seems more reliable (was causing
me a bit'o grief)

Not related to improvements, but does anyone else love the internet
sharing feature of 10.2? I was testing a firewire Pismo yesterday,
gave it internet access in seconds (via my G4). Although I fondly
remember IPNetrouter, sharing internet access with the tick of a box
is far simpler. :)

Great feature indeed! Only _slight_ difficulty is where lots of 
people in an organisation decide this is a cool thing and turn it on, 
thereby making each of their computers into a little DHCP server on 
the network... and of course, the golden rule is to only have one 
DHCP server on your network.

*sigh* there goes my plan of creating computing anarchy by plugging an
OS X feature. Curses and double curses. ;)

Tobes.

P.S. On a serious note - thanks for the heads up. :)

Alas...it was not to be...the annoying aesthetic problem whereby aqua blue
buttons were appearing when the desktop and general preferences were set to
graphite mode remains. The problem reappears after rebooting.

Not happening here. What did happen though, is that after I had checked 
out the Graphite appearance, I tried to restore the Aqua colours and 
everything stayed Graphite!

I went back in and changed back and forth a few times and now Aqua is 
back.

My only problem with 10.2.1 at the moment is that Classic fails to 
startup. Worked OK with 10.2. Boots into OS9 OK. I've only seen one 
other report that 10.2.1 breaks classic startup (Macintouch)

any ideas?

Console report is below.
