fateful &#8220;Erase and Install&#8221; button. A few minutes later (probably about 15 or so&#8230;I didn&#8217;t time it, but it went faster than I expected) I was prompted to reboot, and Tiger was up and running.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/graphics\/2005\/05\/graphics\/osx104.jpg\" height=\"403\" width=\"331\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" alt=\"OS X 10.4\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So far, I&#8217;m really liking the upgrade. Things are definitely a bit snappier than 10.3 was (I <em>love<\/em> the fact that each successive upgrade from Apple is actually <em>faster<\/em> than the prior version). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/macosx\/features\/dashboard\/\" title=\"Apple - Mac OS X - Dashboard\">Dashboard<\/a> I&#8217;m not entirely sold on yet&#8230;great eye candy, I&#8217;ll see how useful it actually is as I keep playing around. I haven&#8217;t had much chance to play with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/macosx\/features\/spotlight\/\" title=\"Apple - Mac OS X - Spotlight\">Spotlight<\/a> so far, as aside from importing my mailboxes, I&#8217;m running on a pretty clean slate at the moment, so there&#8217;s not a lot for Spotlight to work with yet. That will change with time, of course &#8212; and even without using Spotlight&#8217;s document-searching capabilities yet, it&#8217;s proved to be just as capable of an application launcher as <a href=\"http:\/\/quicksilver.blacktree.com\/\" title=\"quicksilver: just your type\">Quicksilver<\/a> was.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the evening so far has been spent downloading the latest versions of the applications I use frequently and getting my day-to-day workspace set up. I&#8217;ve only run into two noticeable snags so far:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The most current version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?displaylang=en&amp;FamilyID=229308df-bcc6-47d9-88d8-54c20232bde6\" title=\"Download Details: IntelliType Pro 5.1 for Mac OSX\">Microsoft&#8217;s keyboard driver<\/a> (I have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?displaylang=en&amp;FamilyID=229308df-bcc6-47d9-88d8-54c20232bde6\" title=\"Adrian's Rojak Pot: Microsoft Office Keyboard Review!\">nice keyboard<\/a> I got for free when I was working on the Microsoft campus &#8212; unfortunately, it&#8217;s one they don&#8217;t make anymore) doesn&#8217;t appear to support the extra keys on this keyboard. I&#8217;d gotten very used to using the handy shortcut keys for &#8216;cut&#8217;, &#8216;copy&#8217; and &#8216;paste&#8217;, and they&#8217;re now non-functional. A little frustrating, as it&#8217;ll take some time for me to re-train my muscle memory away from using them.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>No matter how carefully I try to back things up, there&#8217;s always something that I realize that I&#8217;ve forgotten later on. I&#8217;ve grown to accept that over the years &#8212; it&#8217;s rarely anything I can&#8217;t live without if I have to, so I&#8217;ve gotten used to this element of Russian Roulette when doing a full Nuke and Pave. Unfortunately, this time the casualty was one I&#8217;m definitely going to miss: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/photoshop\/main.html\" title=\"Adobe Photoshop\">Photoshop<\/a> (yes, I&#8217;m one of the many people who&#8230;ahem&#8230;&#8217;acquired&#8217; a copy of Photoshop at some point). A definite bummer, as I&#8217;m not likely to have the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/B00081I6JI\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: Adobe Photoshop CS2 (Mac)\">$600<\/a> to get my own legal copy anytime soon, and I&#8217;ve long since lost track of any sources for less-legal means of acquiring software. Ah, well&#8230;so it goes, right?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So all in all, a pretty successful upgrade, and I&#8217;ve got lots of little nooks and crannies to play in as I poke around. Yay for new toys!<\/p>\n<p><ins>Update:<\/ins> Well, one more issue, this one potentially a little more serious. For some reason, I don&#8217;t seem to be able to send mail through either my Speakeasy account or the account on my own mailserver. Not sure what&#8217;s going on here.<\/p>\n<p>I can <em>receive<\/em> message from both those accounts, and I&#8217;ve set up POP access on my gMail account, though, so I can at least send messages through gMail, but I don&#8217;t seem to be able to send through my @michaelhanscom.com address, which is a bummer. My mailserver&#8217;s been a bit tweaky for a while anyway&#8230;maybe it&#8217;s time to investigate rebuilding that.
