Dadgum it, my Lacie 16x10x40 U&I (using USB) STILL won't work. Come on Apple, what gives?

well... i just found that after install Mac OS X 10.1.3, it changed my colour to Thousands... that's why all the things was faster!!!! oh... no... now... using Millions again and feel just like the same...

I was wondering about that. I thought I had just imagined the switch to thousands, and that I must have done it myself @ some point in the recent past but forgot. Still, even at millions, it feels faster, although there's still a ways to go yet. Good to see improvement either way...

is it any faster???

Well, 10.1.3 is *exactly* what I would expect from a third sub-point update -- it's solid, it's benign, and it shows some improvements. I'm eager to retest my Kodak camera. I *seem* to notice an upgrade in window resizing (my cruel benchmark is to rapidly resize my IE windows with lots of stuff on the screen). I say, good show. I'm pinning some real speed-improvement hopes on 10.2, though I have to say, 10.1.3 ought not be criticized. I mean, have you used XWindows/KDE or CDE lately?

Yeah, video definitely seems to be odd. I run 1152x870, and it set it back to 1024x768. No problem after resetting it. But when I log in, it shows the default background with the login screen as I guess 800x600, and the rest plain blue. Bad. Never saw that before 10.1.3. But otherwise, I see no difference. My video problem that has always been present is still here. Display Properties loses my monitor settings on reboot, and will only go to 800x600. Takes playing around to get it back. One way is to reboot into OS 9, then back into X. The other is to have a non-bootable CD in the drive and hold down 'c' when restarting. More often than not that does the trick.

still no support for my freaking Sony Spressa USB CD-R. Very annoying.

However, system preferences seems to open up much more quickly now.

system prefs does open much more quickly. and guess what everybody. there is a whole new set of the extra language support updates sitting right behind 10.1.3 when you run software update again

the nicest improvement i have seen so far is that the mouse for the graphire2 tablet now works like it should. Hooray, now i can switch back and forth when my hand gets ired of one position or the other.

sys prefs opens faster? yes, but it did that since 10.1.0 whenever you redid the 'optimizing' thing (prelinking). so NO 10.1.3 does NOT boot sysprefs faster than 10.1.

but ie window resizing/scrolling is definitely faster.
