i'm worried to see airport not mentioned.

i wrestled with a fucking 2wire modem for an hour last night to get it to grab an IP.

I have an issue with network disconnections when copying files between my PC and Mac and the battery charging time is wrong. It can say there's an hour left to charge, then all of a sudden it is fully charged. Funny. The more I check how much time is left, it shows more and more time left to charge.

What is Xtype? I've never heard of it in my 9 years of using Mac OS X. Google just turns up a typing tutorial program.

I work at an Apple reseller and I can state that the 2Wire wireless router is the biggest POS router on the planet! And that opinion was formed before Snow Leopard came out.

If someone walks in with flaky connection issues I always ask if they are with Telus (they give free 2wire routers with their internet contracts) 95% of the time they are. This was pre SL as well.

i know i know..

i am traveling and staying in pre-furnished apartments.. so i have to take what i can get. i have a 20MB comcast connection with a dualband airport extreme at home. i am dying.


the apple discussion boards are full of people with 2wire issues post upgrading to SL. given i'd never fucking use a 2wire unless i had to- i took it that it wasn't just me.

but it's good to know 2wire is a POS. they really lucked out with their DSL monopoly- they don't even have to support it. AT&T does.. and well..

shitshow in effect

Wishlist:

better drivers for the GTX 285
TRIM support so I can finally buy an SSD

Good to see Apple on the ball getting these updates out quickly

I'd like to add to the harsh blows to the freebie modems given out to unwary customers. It's worth your hair staying on your crown to immediately throw their junk in the trash and get an Apple AE or other brand name that you're familiar with.

Hope this update fixes the iPhoto 09 issues. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my system freezes and requires a hard reboot when I attempt to edit a photo. Seems to be an issue for a lot of Mac Mini users.

My Snow Leopard experience has been great otherwise. My Mini is so much quicker now.

Finally we get a fix for Time Machine! I was frustrated at repairing the hard drive, Disk Utility finding no errors, while DiskWarrior said there were about 40,000 and fixed them. And then said that the Time Machine image was "corrupted" and said error 109 that the backup image couldn't be read. And I never even touched the image apart from deleting it and backing up again from scratch a few days before. Time Machine worked perfectly on Leopard... I couldn't understand why it didn't work correctly on Snow Leopard. Anyway, glad Apple is finally coming out with a fix to that Oh, and utorrent (microtorrent) causes a kernel panic (forcing a hard reboot) every so often whenever it's run, whereas it didn't on Leopard... but that's not Apple's fault at least.
