    VShieldCore hogging CPU

    Yeah, but I'm sure any Virex will be a system hog. Having the background Virus Shiled naturally seems like a cpu hog, and is almost always unneeded. If anything, I should be able to set it up to only scan downloaded files I choose.

    VShieldCore hogging CPU

    So... Tiger: Buggy and Incomplete?

    From the sounds of it, it seems that Spotlight and Dashboard are inferior to Qucksilver and Konfabulator, that many of its new features either arent working yet or not as advertised, and that for all the speed increases, its still got lots of potential for messing up and causing many a reboot...

    Tiger on DVD; Apple misleads; delay upgrade

    Well, that assumes he's got one. If I didnt have an internal DVD, I'd be sunk too. that is a valid point. yes, that is a hassle, and I agree apple shouldve made it easier. but people shouldnt have accidently bought the wrong version if they read the system requirements. Most typical...

    So... Tiger: Buggy and Incomplete?

    If that's the case, then perhaps it would be in my best interests to wait until Saturday to install. It wont come until Monday at earliest anyway.

    Tiger on DVD; Apple misleads; delay upgrade

    LOL, is this a plea for tech support or a political diatribe? Go cry to Rush, or start reading the fine print.

    How can you get rid of unwanted languages?

    Be careful. Dont remove any input interfaces, even foreign ones. I managed to lose all typing input using Monolingual and had to archive reinstall.

    Upgrade vs Archive Install

    I archive installed when I had to fix Panther. It's irritating. i'm just gonna upgrade and hope for the best.

    Arrived early

    If I knew that 10.4.1 was a week away, I'd wait, but my curiosity would get the better of me if it took longer or there was no preset .1 date.

    Tiger Day

    I asked my local Apple Store. The "party" is basically just a really long line outside the door. The lucky people who make it inside get to enter their name in a raffle and buy Tiger. That's it. Not interested.

    Tiger is already shipping...

    Mine still says backordered. However, the guy at the apple store says to check after 6pm tommorow, since I should get an accurate reading then and it should stop saying backordered.
