OS X 10.5
I wonder if the title for this blog post is redundant. I’m running my old Powermac G5 with dual 2 GHz processors and 2 gigs of ram. So far my thoughts on OS 10.5 are limited as I just got done spending most of the day installing it. I managed to dodge the APE BSOD by uninstalling the thing… years ago… for being buggy, and by waiting till I heard the reports that the system was stable. There are a few complaints I have to add to its somewhat short list of new features.
AlchemyTV is, for the moment, bricked. Until its creators come up with a software update, the TV card is just causing drag in my aerodynamic case. Well.. at least I hear they are working on it and the problem is fairly well reported.
What isn’t well reported is that Geekbind does not work in OS X 10.5. One of my favorite little freeware interface tweaks is crashing consistently. This fun little program allows you greater control over various window properties, such as, my favorite, transparency. With a keystroke I can adjust transparency, which has it’s uses as far as impressing friends with my cool desktop layout, but also has a few nifty uses while editing images… it will be sorely missed since the project appears to be completely dead.
