...and relax

The issues with my external hard drive seem to have been resolved. No further kernel panics and 10.5 seems to be stable now.

Things I am not too keen on? The 3D mirror effect on the Dock is one, but that can be 'turned off' if I feel the need.

All I have to do is to open the Terminal and type this -

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

To restore the 3D dock change YES to NO.

I tried the Screen Sharing in iChat today with someone in Canada (someone I know I hasten to add) and we had data transfer error messages at both attempts - guess the distance didn't help...
