Thanks Ken! 
And how's the surfing going...anymore of those huge SW swells come through for you lately!? I have missed those outrageous pictures that you sometimes post...(tu)
As for blooz, hi again to you too!>
< So you went ahead and did the Leopard deal...did you Archive & Install, Clean Install, or upgrade? A&I is the way to go, in my experience so far with most folks, unless it's a Clean Install, because it avoids the permissions ACL problems.
Even if I Archive & Install and have my backup properly done beforehand it just feels like totally uncharted waters. It's MY problem, I know that, so I'll apologize straight away for it even being in existence.
Good to hear that you, blooze, are pretty happy though...that's a good feather for me to put in my Leopard hat! So are all of the folks that I've upgraded. Though we do have many clients who are waiting it out right now-- for example we have one who owns a recording studio and has 5 PPC Macs and one Mac Pro in the studio, lots of RAID setups with FirmTek equipment, and assorted office iMacs and older Macs, and he's waiting for the dust to settle a little before he risks upgrading. I guess there are issues with Pro Tools right now to boot.
When I go with Leopard on my G5 2.3Ghz Dual Core (PCI Express) PowerMac, with its 2TB bootable RAID volume (FirmTek SeriTek 2e/EN4 4-Bay Drive Enclosure, 2 SeriTek 2SE/2E bus masters that have to have their firmware updated before I do Leopard) I have a lot of work to do to maintain integrity there, that much I'm certain of. I am probably going to have to simply Clean Install that setup, starting out with an install on my 1TB FireWire backup HD then migrating that install over to the RAID volume, formatted with the Leopard Disk Utility. That's the kind of thing I have to look forward to if I do the big change.
So yeah, I'm a little freaked out about going through all that when 10.4.11 is so gosh darn stable and rewarding for me at this point!:S
