Juha Haataja: Universally PersonalWhat I Almost Didn't Do Today.Not yet into Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5)- November 15, 2007 Apple today released the first update to Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.1. I'm not yet installing Leopard on my computers. I probably will not install it on the iBook G4 ever, but on the iMac I'll wait for the 10.5.2 update. Typically the first update includes fixes already in pipe, and the second update contains fixes based on feedback from the users. Thus, better wait a month or so until moving to Leopard.

Last night I played until 3:30 AM, and didn't notice time passing. And I seem to be thinking about Civ strategies all the time.

After updating to version 1.74, the graphics problems went.http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/categories/universallyPersonal/2007/11/03.html#a4870 |
