MACFOOL  Noticed Onyx updated a help file upon first run.

Could this be the "freeze?"

Apple Canon Print Drivers
Sep 12 2009

MACFOOL  Canon has very recently updated certain specific drivers for 10.6, e.g. PIXMA MP620 (sold in Apple stores).

The Apple 10.6 driver D/L is for a broad range of drivers (the list is here) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#canon

Just to be clear.

MACFOOL  These drivers are for SL, please note the current drives on the Canon site are for 10.5.

The OEM 10.5 files are smaller because they are for specific printers and not the entire product line.

MACFOOL  10.6 installed without drama onto a e09 Mac Mini 2 GB over 10.5.8 and corrected the annoying flicker and low contrast issue when using the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter to a 1080i SAMSUNG DLP as display. Image quality went from marginal to impressive overall. Fan runs slower and heat is a few degrees cooler, too.

MACFOOL  Update fixed the slow log-in issue that crept in with 10.5.7 on the Dual G5.

Suggestion: Lay-off the coffee before applying this update

MACFOOL  There are new security threats emerging all the time. Safari is at 4.02 and Firefox is at 3.5.2 due to newly discovered potential issues.

Do you own a Apple keyboard? There is a huge threat there.

MACFOOL  Technically, FORMICA is very correct. Or put another way - there is far too much unannounced OUTGOING communications between YOUR computer and points unknown.

That's a fact.

MACFOOL  CBX322 - Have you ever addressed your specific need to Mozilla, directly?

If so, what was the response? If not, why not?

Firefox

MACFOOL  BOSSA-NOVA - Had to wait until I needed to Restart to respond to the question. Firefox 3.5 takes 4 seconds or a little less to open from launch on both machines subsequent to a Restart or Cold Boot.

If this has any bearing (probably not) I run all non-Apple applications from a second partition that will let me install there.

The fact you think you must reboot so often may be the source of your slow launching?

Both Firefox and Safari launch VERY fast give or take a few hundred milliseconds.

Try a cold start into a PRAM zap (thrice) to a Safe Boot, run Permissions repair in Disk Utility, then run your maintenance scripts, trash all caches and then Restart. If things are still slow, well, good luck.

Hope this helps.

Otherwise is performs perfectly and it's free.

ANONYMOUS  if you had spent the time to understand a bit about backcountry.com's business model you'd understand why people want instant notification when a particular item appears at 75% discount for the next 5 minutes. backcountry.com's sites liked Tramdock revolutionized gear deals.

besides, it's a widget: you don't like it, don't use it.
