It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Everything works great! Funny, because I have Mac OS X 10.6.1 running perfectly on my Dell Inspiron 1525 and I installed (with many hacks) from the retail $29.99 disc purchased at Best Buy.

Everything works great!

I have had an "installation failure" msg for iTunes 9 - xcode 3.2 - aperture 2.1.4 - and mac osx 10.6.1. Furthermore, my itunes has been hanging constantly. I guess it's time to try a clean install, and see what gives. Installed SL [upgrade] just fine on my 15″ Macbook Pro – but I haven’t been able to install xcode or a single update since.

Rebooted and found a file folder icon with a question mark. Yikes! After 21 years of buying Macs (starting with the Apple IIGS in 1988), this was the biggest disaster ever! Did I back everything up before hand?! Of course not since "it always just worked and there is nothing special about this iMac." So I made an appointment at the local Apple store for Friday and started poking around. Disk Utility was no help and so I downloaded Data Rescue II to see if it could do something. It found the disk and is in the middle of checking it. Maybe I won't go that route if you say that I can get to the disk via the terminal. I do have an external drive that I am running off of now. Hopefully I can copy everything to that tonight when I get home. Yuck.

Copied back all of my data and now things appear to be running smoothly. Performance, as advertised, is notably "snappier" and the more I dig the more I like the new additions. Since I do a lot of web development, it's nice to see that they've finally decided to pre-install the GD library with their PHP distribution. Sleep/awake is also far and away faster. Based on what I've seen so far I'll recommend 10.6, just be sure to use caution when upgrading! For some strange reason it took me two attempts, but the second install went off without a hitch.

To be honest most of my data is in several places anyway so I wasnt too concerned. The only reason I am going through the firewire route is to be sure I havent forgotten anything during my routine backups. Interested to hear how you get on anyway...
