was just wondering if the remote install mac os x application in the utilities folder can install the mac os to any computer besides the macbook air?

Anyone been able to verify Time Machine support for network drives? MacRumors is saying it ain’t necessarily so …

I can back up to any other Leopard machine with a 2nd attached disk with 10.5.1. Not sure if that is what you mean, but I can share a drive on the network for multiple machines.

This is a known issue. See this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messag...

I wish I could set the translucency of various Finder components somewhat similar to adjusting the properties of WindowzXP themes.

Better yet I’d like to see working continuously updated themes available for OSX, especially a LCARS theme.

Look forward to this!
But I *love* the translucent menu bar, still highly visible text (maybe not for old people though, but then OS X fonts are probably too small anyway), and aesthetically blends better into the desktop.

Hi, Jan. Speak for yourself. At 76 I may well have better eyesight than you do, and have no problem with even smaller fonts.
The trouble with a transparent menu bar is that I put up my own Desktop pictures, some of which have dark areas under the menu bar. Try reading a black font on a black background. That’s when a more opaque menu bar is appreciated.

I just tried dark photos, light photos, solid colours, black, white, grey, greens, blues...

It really didn't seem to make any difference what colour the photo was or what was on the desktop... Maybe there is a combination that doesn't work with the transparent menubar, but I haven't found it yet...

Having said that, I guess it's good we will have the option to turn that off, I hope they give us the option to remove the 3D dock. I already have that turned off, but it would be nice if that was "official" too...

Must have named it that out of habit when I got it, sorry.

Why is the graphic of the Airport Express actually an Airport Extreme?

Nice. I just want the damn thing to come out already - I've got my fingers crossed that they fixed the dodgy WiFi access that my Macbook Pro has.... oh, yeah, it'd be nice if I didn't have to re-type the first letter after not using the keyboard for a few seconds too.

Check-boxes for the translucent menu bar be damned... I just want a usable machine!

"Time Machine can also use a disk connected to your Airport Express as a backup location."

hard to belief but if this is true it's fantastic !

Rich: the translucent menu bar doesn't show up at all on older machines. Are you using an older Mac? Could it be that the preference setting doesn't show at all in those cases?

Sorry to say people but the translucent menu bar option is gone in the latest update 9C16... maybe they'll put it back in later....

I don't want new features! I want to get rid of the numerous bugs in 10.5.1!
Let them focus on that!
