10.2 questions
I'm a little late to the Jag party but here are my (non-technical) questions/observations after installing 10.2 and 10.2.1 this morning:
1. Software update - install log doesn't appear to log anything, although the updates are downloaded and installed properly. It worked under 10.1.
2. The pro speakers that come with the iMac now seem to hiss even more noticably, and now intermittently, than before.
3. My system seems slightly sluggish at times, especially when I run the Help app. Help moves at a glacial pace.
4. Mail is much better but has a long way to go.
5. I used Brickhouse under 10.1, but decided to drop it since 10.2 has a basic firewall GUI.
If anyone can offer any useful comments in term of items 1-3, that would be appreciated. Thanks.

<strong>Those are questions?
Why yes, they are, see.
1.?
2.?
3.?
I'll try a clean install in the morning (it's night here in India). But before I do does anyone have any specific suggestions for the questions (yes, I'm claiming that they're are questions). How does the install log just fail to work?
hey gobble, i know how to solve your problems... give your mac to me. and go buy yourself a dell.

are you seriously in india? i just came back from that country 3 days ago... i was going to email you, but i see youre not accepting private messages. so email me instead!
:cool:
Wow...
Apparently, it is slow for most users, perhapes too much help is not helpful at all

India is one giant technical problem. I lose power several times a day (thank God for my UPS), and my broadband connection is a whopping 64K when it works. Also, since Apple has less than 1% of the market share here, it's effectively impossible to find Apple products or anyone with technical expertise. Maybe there are some Mac-heads in Bangalore that I'm missing.

Okay - I just turned on the private email function. I live in New Delhi, so if you're going to be in town just let me know. What brings you to India? Are you a Desi?
p.s. I gave up playing RtCW online. With the internet so slow here my ping rate was way too high.
p.p.s. I'm getting off topic here, so does anyone know why the software update log might stop working? Thanks.
It's not a helpful situation for a new user, who needs Help more than those old hands...
<strong>My personal belief is that Help Viewer is way too dependent on files which are only available online: once you've spent quality time caching a lot of it, things improve, but local help files are just so much faster.

Ahhhh.... it makes sense now. I didn't realize that Mac Help was checking things online. Since my internet connection is way slow (see above), that goes a long way toward explaining the tortoise-like pace of Mac Help. Thanks.
Now, about that Pro Speaker hiss...

how in god's name can you play anything online from India? i went to an internet cafe while i was there this past month, and i had to wait 8 minutes until after i typed the web address until the time the page came up. then i waited 12 minutes or more while aol anywhere opened up my mailbox. (they supposedly had a cable line.) often, it wouldnt even work and i ended up wasting 20 rupees and an hour of my time. however, it was the only air conditioned place in town, and i guess it beat sweating my @$$ off and being savagely bitten by mosquitos for that hour.
ok, anyway, i'll send you a PM.

haha,dont count me as a desi. this was my first time going to india, and i dont think id' ever go back there unless i was training for "Survivor." if i have any long lost relatives there, they can stay lost. (i'm going to be singing God Bless America for a long time now.) i would go see my relatives in Saudi and the mideast, since they arent impoverished nations. i stopped in kuwait, and it seems pretty cool! theyve got some moolah in that country. LOL.

I'm not a Desi either. I'm just in India for a couple of years on business, although I am learning Hindi. Unfortunately 10.2 does not yet support Devengari (Hindi).
