[MACEP] Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update (Combo)

[John Bromley]

Hi,
I have also been running OS X 10.4.7 since it came out (800 MHz PPC  
G4, 1 GB RAM). Unlike Richard, I have had no problems at all -- my  
system is rock solid and it has been at least two years since I last  
had a system crash!

I am a firm member of the Bleeding Edge Club and install all updates  
as soon as they are available. So far (knock on wood) I have had no  
problems. Your mileage may vary.

I do keep a full backup of my hard drive -- updated every couple of  
week on an external hard drive using SuperDuper! which makes bootable  
copies your current drive, but I have never had to use it to revert  
to a older version of the OS of any program updates.

By the way, I never post any files on the ftp server at MESD until I  
have tested them on my computer first. This, of course, does not mean  
that they will always work on your computer(s).

John
