Apple reports via a support document (306721) that improvements were made to .Mac Sync on October 19, 2007:
To ensure uninterrupted service, use Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later. To check which Mac OS X version you’re running, select About This Mac under the Apple menu. If you’re using Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.9, update to Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later.
If you use Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier, be aware that in order to accommodate new enhancements, .Mac Sync will no longer support syncing calendars between a Mac OS X 10.3.x-based Mac and a Mac OS X 10.4.x-based Mac. Syncing calendars between two Mac OS X 10.3.x-based Macs is unaffected.
These changes will help enable .Mac Sync to do more than ever before.
More info here.
MacDailyNews Note: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will feature the ability to sync Dashboard widget preferences, Dock items, application and system preferences, and Mail notes across all your Leopard-based Mac computers.
Still Going…. Nothing outlasts the Leopard news wagon.
Who still uses 10.3?
@eric – answer: my grandmother!!
system 7 here!
with widgets and .mac galore!
all on my apple IIe
Next Friday seems like a month away. Can’t wait!
Unfortunately, where I work, we’re stuck on 10.3 due to software compatibility issues. Yes, it’s absolutely ridiculous and irritating, and IMHO, totally avoidable, but due to certain parties in charge being afraid of change (even for the better), that’s what we’re stuck with. So, yes, there are still some people on 10.3, believe it or not.
My LiteBrite is running system 9 but at least the screen doesn’t glare… ha ha
Who still uses 10.3? —eric
Whoever still uses 10.3 should take what they can get and be happy. Complaints about lack of 10.3 support at this stage of the game are a sure sign of serious mental illness. Consult a qualified therapist, not Apple.
Some Macs can’t be upgraded past 10.3. Of course, if this is the case, it’s time for a new Mac.

I still use System 6… >choke< … maybe I’ll get 7 for Christmas this year.
I still use my Apple IIc as a game machine. I have the classics on floppy, like Karateka, Jumpman, and Lode Runner.
Still use 10.3 on my clamshell iBook 366 and it runs without problem for basic email, surfing, and word processing. My G5 and MacBook will get Leopard-goodness next Friday.
Karateka- That brings back some memories!
My fave ][e games were-
Ultima ][ & 3
Robotron
LodeRunner
(that’s all I can remember)
Karateka was cool but I seem to remember that it didn’t have many levels
Remember Castle Wolfenstien? the first game I owned that actually talked. “Ahctung!” (sic)
How about Wizardry?
Seriously, Microsoft Olympic Decathlon was a fun, keyboard-destroying game back in the day.
I am running 10.4.10 on my Powerbook, but 10.3.something on my Quicksilver.
Karateka and Steev
My favourite games on my Apple ][+ was anything from Beagle Brothers.
Beagle bros games were a blast and required some serious planning.
Loderunner was great too.. I especially liked being able to edit levels.
And of course, Cartels & Cutthroats – business strategy game that taught me a great deal about running a business and understanding the markets.
Simply amazing what would fit on a 143K floppy disk and run on 48 K of RAM man!
“Complaints about lack of 10.3 support at this stage of the game are a sure sign of serious mental illness. “
Mac OS X service pack 3 was current 3 1/2 years ago, just before Mac OS X service pack 4 came out. You expect support to be dropped that quickly?
LOL– Service Pack 3? Good one, Zune Tang!
Ah..Karateka & Loderunner were two of my favourites.

Anyone know if there’s any way to run them on Tiger or Leopard? That’s be awesome for me.
I’ve always been an “arcade game” fan, not those complicated ones you usually find nowadays. Getting old, i guess!
I used to play “how do you keep this fscking thing working” on my PC every dam day….
Crystal quest was my favourite game. May have been called something else.
eMax,
Too damn funny!!!
Tiny Tim,
Don’t worry. Uncle Steve has a nice shiny present for you, and I hear he is delivering it to all the good little kiddies in the world this Friday. So, be good and eat your gruel.
