While I'm waiting, I might as well post [my performance numbers|PerformanceComparisons] for Jaguar. I'll update this post when I finally get Panther installed on my laptop. I'm willing to bet my new 2.6 GHz Dell Dimension 8300 blows the doors off all of these numbers. We'll find out later this week!
I'm now at my local local Apple Store trying to get this damn upgrade accomplished. The guy who's working on it thinks its fingerprints on Disc 1 that's causing the problem. I'll be fricken livid if this is the problem. If it's not, that means this guy doesn't believe I know what I'm talking about and I've just wasted 30 minutes while he sees the same behavior that I've seen. If it is fingerprints, I'm an idiot and I'll walk out of her with an upgraded machine in 30 minutes or so.
Update: A nice stack trace towards the end of disc 1 finally prompted them to try new CDs. Once again, more waiting...
Update 2: New CDs didn't help - the upgrade still froze when installing Asian Languages (or something like that). I left it there for them to fix. Hopefully, I'll get back an upgraded machine in the next day or two.
Update 3: I just talked with the guys from the Apple store - my 3rd party RAM was causing the problem. They removed it and Panther installed just fine. Now I get the joy of installing it again (when I get home tonight) and hoping it works. If not, I'd better get my money back from OWC!
Continuing from yesterday...
Today I tried doing a "clean install" with Panther. That didn't work either - it quit with a "installation failed" error. Finally, I tried erasing my hard drive and going that route. Then Panther said it couldn't find an OS X installation to upgrade. To make matters worse, I can't boot to my OS X 10.1 nor 10.2 install disks. I hold down Ctrl+C with no luck. Thanks to some advice on the Apple Discussion Forums - I'm now restoring back to 10.2. I suppose I'll try to upgrade again after that - but I'm suspicious that the CDs are bad.
Later: Must be a bad install CD. I restored my PowerBook with the restore DVD and tried to upgrade. It made it most of the way through the upgrade, and then gave me a gray screen with a spinner at the bottom. After 20 minutes of waiting, I figured it was hosed and re-installed 10.2 with the DVD. I guess I'll head to the Apple store for an exchange tomorrow. Panther truly sucks right now in my opinion - don't upgrade unless you're a glutten for punishment (like I am).
I've tried to upgrade to Panther 3 times now, all with the installer getting hung up somewhere along the process (in different locations each time). The sweet thing about having 2 PowerBooks is that I can mount my bad-upgrade machine as a Firewire drive - and back up all my files. Looks like this upgrade is going to require a format first...
Everyone keeps saying that Panther is much faster than Jaguar. So let's get some real world proof. I'm looking to run 2-4 tests on my top-o-the-line Powerbook - first on Jaguar (today) and then on Panther after I upgrade (tomorrow). Hook me up with your suggestions!
Apple just sent me an e-mail stating that my $20 (gotta rub it in) Panther upgrade has shipped. Fedex Tracking seems to disagree - at least as of 9:00 this morning.
I'm working at my local library today. I'm working from home, but an electrician is working on our house, so now power there. I'm working in the "laptop workstations" area - which just happens to be where a lot of students come for laptop support (incoming freshman are required to have a laptop). They wave a campus-wide Wi-Fi network, but I'm not a student, so alas - no access (that's why I'm plugged in). Since I've been here (approx. 4 hours), a number of students have come by to get their laptops fixed. All have been Windows XP machines, all have had Virus or Spyware issues. What a maintenance nightmare from a tech support perspective. It's good to be a Mac user - no viruses on my laptop!
Now that we have a a personal jukebox (and 802.11b) on all our computers, all we need is a set of 802.11b speakers that we can broadcast to. I just want to plug them in, no other setup needed. To broadcast from iTunes to the speakers - that's my dream. Is this possible? I've seen the 900 MHz stuff, but you need a receiver for those don't you?
Now that I have the pinstripe theme for Mozilla Firebird installed, I think I'll start using Firebird a fair amount. However, all my bookmarks have fallen into Safari's black hole. Is it possible to share Safari bookmarks with Firebird? It'd be sweet if these browser vendors would get together and allow all their browsers to read from the same bookmarks file.
I'm suspicious that there's more cool apps for OS X out there, so I'll tell you my favorites, and maybe I'll hear about some new ones in the process.
There's more that I didn't feel like listing because I figured most folks know about them - NetNewsWire, Tiger Launch and Clutter to name a few.
