if this “improvement” to iChat doesn’t include support for buddylists, I’m going to sh*t a brick.

It’s been over a minute. Where is it?
Apple listed the PowerBook 17 on its Web site two months before it shipped to customers. So maybe 10.2.5 isn’t shipping until WWDC!

MDN said “any minute.” You’d think someone calling themselves “cognizant” would realize that the operative word is “any,” as well as the fact that the CD is listed by Apple as shipping in 1-2 days. Sheesh!
i wonder which minute it will ship.
Boy, if all you’re looking for is an improvement for iChat in this whole upgrade, that’s sad.
As of 12:30 PDT the update 39.9 MB was up, I installed it and am a happy user. Thanx, Apple.
It’s UP! Downloading right now… 3:55pm EST
Pete, there is no such thing as “the operative word.” The sentence read, “Mac OS X 10.2.5 due any minute,” which meant it would be up shortly, not at “any” minute out of the infinite number of available minutes. It finally appeared hours later. So when it comes to be cognizant, you might want to look up the word and stop embarassing yourself in public. Pete.
Sounds like MDN was pretty-much right – within hours literally. Which, of course, really is “any minute,” fool.
