Five hours with OS X 10.2 installed

Finally got some face time with a 17″ iMac (awesome machine) and low and behold there was a set of 10.2 discs inside the box. Couple of hours later, I’m running it now on my Titanium/800.

Couple of notes:

  • It’s fast!
  • Build number is 6C115
  • Most of my menu bar add-ons (Classic Spy, Massinova, ScriptMenu) are broken. No big deal – probably the API for the menu has changed and everything needs an update
  • The GPG and SpamCop bundles screw up the menus in Mail.app. Again, just needs an update here.
  • Retrospect client fails. Work around is to script a cron job until Dantz can get their shit together. Will they? Not sure as their OS X support has been dodgy at best. Irritating as I’d love to update the OS X users at work to 10.2 as soon as possible. Anyone want to bet if an updated client is released along with 10.2’s release?
  • The client for CorporateTime fails on launch. This is more problematic as work uses it and I’ve got a pretty big list of stuff up there. At least there’s the web front end to CT so I can get at my events. Complicating factor is that Oracle just finished buying out Steltor and there’s been no mention of how the coding force is being divvied up. Not looking forward to importing it all into Palm Desktop. Wish iCal was released already.
