No, But I'm Getting Very Tired Of Many People Insualting Me Everytime I Type On This Forum.
Stephen, maybe if you showed you were actually considering people's opinions and the help they're trying to give you instead of deciding they were insulting you, you'd get a little more respect.
I'm just trying to give you some friendly advice. You receive what you give, Stephen.

I think that most people are concerned that you don't seem to be paying any attention to anything we say to you.
You will never find a single person on this Web site that said 10.4.8 wouldn't be released. If you show me a post that proves me wrong, I will happily apologize.
I'll say it straight up so you can quote me: Yes, 10.4.8 WILL be released soon. Yes, 10.4.9 will almost certainly be released too. No, these updates MAY NOT fix your system's problems.
Have you repaired permissions and followed the other steps that we suggested in the other thread?
You know, I ought to send you my Console logs for pptp. It tries to Authenticate, but it doesn't accept the RECV commands, which is the problem. I have sent several bug reports to Apple, but nothing has been done about it.
Any luck on VPN connections in 10.4.8? I'm getting the same thing and wonder if it is a combo 10.4.7 + security update issue that might be fixed in 10.4.8.
I can watch the logs at both end of the VPN connection -- and sure enough, the VPN connection sends:
Code:
sent [CHAP Success id=0xb3 "S=D8E3E5B601F66A97F8A86FE72B7BD13520554E8E M=Access granted"]
The Mac doesn't log this, but yet logs everything else that is sent. its as if it is not being seen.
How about this... re: resource hungry - right now, I just fired up activity monitor and here we have typical POS Safari resource use - CPU 38.2%, Real Memory: 564.36MB... WTF??? I have ONE window open and 4 tabs. My Safari is stock Apple build no fancy add-ons or plugins, just what came with the original install plus updates. This on an the last iteration of 1.33ghz 1.5GB RAM iBook (see sig) running 10.4.7 with all the patches and up to date. This has been going on for as long as I've had this notebook (8 months) through numerous Tiger updates.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING internet related takes as much resources as this POS. I have Azureus running with several torrents dl and seeding and it's typically around 8% CPU and 90MB RAM. And that's a Java based app which is by it's nature "hard" on resources, and doing about the most intense stuff you can with the internet... basically downloading and uploading data streams at full speed with rapid changes up and down. It can't TOUCH the kind of resoures the POS Safari rutinely takes up just for the privilege of running one window with a couple of tabs.
And performance? Wow. Click on a link - and watch the spinning rainbow wheel of death, 5 seconds, 10 seconds - finally there. Funny, I go to the very same websites using Firefox, Boom as Steve would say - I'm there. Why is Firefox so fast and Safari so slow when going from link to link?
Also, I've never had Firefox crash on me (Ok, not since 1.5), but with Safari, that happens pretty frequently on often innocuous websites - I click for "inbox" in Gmail, CRASH - poof! There goes Safari! Or it'll freeze first, then crash. P-O-S.
Is that detailed enough?
Dude you just described all my experiences with Firefox... Firefox almost always crashed on me until finally it would freeze on launch and finally ended up screwing up the whole system and I had to do a clean install \
Now I'm using Firefox beta 2.0b2 and its a huge improvement... anyways during the time Firefox didn't work I found Safari to be a great replacement, it only it had all the stuff I liked about Firefox I would still use it more
Right now I use FireFox about 80% of the time and Safari the remaining 20% but I like both

How long, on average, does it take you to type a message? Just curious.

Since you are going on a little vacation, I won't have to.
