Well, I haven't installed the 10.3.7 update due to my previous disaster yet, and probably won't until I see better feed back on the Apple feedback forums. It appears that both 10.3.6 and 10.3.7 have been wrought with problems. In fact, the postings on the feedback forums consistently say that it appears that after the 10.3.5 update, updates thereafter have caused lots of problems, almost as if Apple has somehow lost their previous edge in releasing what was largely great updates with little problem. Maybe they have reached the edge of their understanding of the Unix/Mac OS integration technology, which leaves me really wondering how the 10.4 (Tiger) upgrade is going to work. I guess that if we see delays with the Tiger release that will be somewhat telling. Someone recently told me that a lot of a new upgrades viability is largely based on how well the updates work for the previous version of an operating software, since what is done there is carried over to the new version. Hmmm. I hope they're not experimenting with the 10.3 updates to figure out 10.4. I'm ok with holding a Tiger by the tail, but not at all that excited at looking down its mouth if things don't go as well as planned. (I really like the Mac OS X operating system, but have been thumped in a big way by Apple's recent updates debacle.)

On the whole, it appears that since 10.3.5 update seems to be more stable with little of the complaints of the last two updates, that the ole adage works here, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
