The penultimate release for Mac OS X 10.4, 10.4.8, is what I'm installing right now.

You'll understand why it takes so long, since I have to repair my permissions.

If I never post anything, ever again, it's because my computer exploded.

UPDATES:

1. Holding down the COPR throughout the coach's challenge in the NC State/Florida State game on ESPN makes for some zapped PRAM. Just sayin'. Long challenge, you see.

2. For those of you who don't know, I've dropped the one-button mouse that Apple supplied after my 13232-button mouse from Logitec (who didn't have a Mac OS X driver so I had to use USBOverdrive in stealing-shareware mode for the longest) to the Wacom tablet that has a two-button mouse with a scroll wheel. Plus, my mouse now has a tablet.

3. My computer is rather on-fire-less. This pleases me.

4. Might as well add the 350 megabytes of songs I've downloaded into iTunes. (Note to RIAA lawyers, it's all street team stuff, so they give it to me to write them glowing reviews, and shill their songs - THE FOOLS!!!)

5. You know what I find most amazing about this latest update to Mac OS X is? That there's really nothing to talk about. It just...happened. No bells, no whistles. It was as rather hum-drum as installing the weekly/daily/hourly updates to Windows security.

I expected a kernel panic or something, at least. Nope, just new numbers. Total jip, I tells ya.

Maybe MacFixIt will have something.

Ooh! Need to do my nightly permissions fix!

Later...

And now my backup to .Mac isn't working. WHY?!? WHY HAS MY PERMISSIONS REPAIR FORSAKEN ME?!?
