Hands on with Apple’s Mac OS X 10.5.5

“Monday’s release of OS X 10.5.5 brought a slew of updates—136MB worth in the Software Update version on my Mac,” Rob Griffiths reports for Macworld.

  1. psssst, cubert

    just tween you and me

    these post are often easier to read, especially depending on some font prefs, with a little blank space around the phrases and sentences

    and forget comprehensive paragraphs, want long ?

    however

    i must confess i get into the poetic possibilities in my chosen style which i’ve been fortunate to play with and develop at times as a professional writer who had to toe the line structurally or others had no chance to easily follow the logic of the sentence or able to metaphorically understand

    the space

    of it all, sorta an eecummingskindathang

    so, yes, i’m being selfish and admit i enjoy sharing my content, and style, with preceptive folks like you cubert, appreciate you notice ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

    bc

    ok, ok, here da real reason, my way to toss a lil bit into the tip jar

    MND ends up w/more pages

    cheap txt = more ad$hit$

    but, shhhh, don’t tell anyone

  2. i dont know what the heck is wrong with this update, ive never had a single problem with my Macbook but i just tried installing the update and it says sumthing about not being able to authorize the 10.5.5 patch? anyone having this problem?

  3. I’m still on 10.5.4 (perish the thought, for goodness’ sake, I’m a geek!) and I’m having the GMail inbox fault and the Safari problem, so it’s with Mail and Safari app code, not with the OS. Oh well.
