JMKMMRR Upgrade install over 10.5.8 took about 30 minutes. That's the good news. Mail wouldn't send: fixed that. Gutenprint drivers for my printer are horrible! Time Machine first backup took almost 2 hours and Time machine is rendered on a white background, making it virtually unusable!! Safari is having trouble with some secure sites that worked perfectly in 10.5.8. Many thanks to the developers that were so quick to supply updates; Alsoft, Prosoft, Agile, Stunt... The whole system does seem more responsive. Star-up and Shut-down times seem little changed. Machine still has "wake from sleep" issue that is Firewire related. Pretty painful process.
