I will be doing my boxes tomorrow.
Are you gents doing clean installs or upgrades? I usually take the opportunity to do a clean install but may not do so this time. Your experiences might persuade me one way or other.Comment

Clean install every time. I have just bought a bigger hard drive for my MacBook Pro so will need to do a clean install anyhow...Originally posted by OrangeHopper View PostI will be doing my boxes tomorrow.

I bought a HDD for the same purpose; I bought a Western Digital 1TB Studio Edition. Using FW800, the damn thing is unreliable; it wakes up from sleep mode only sometimes and sometimes the drive fails to be recognised. In USB mode, it is fine. So I am sending it back.Originally posted by daviejones View PostClean install every time. I have just bought a bigger hard drive for my MacBook Pro so will need to do a clean install anyhow...
I am looking for a good external HDD ideally for use with FW, anybody have any recommendations?Comment

Have installed both my machines now - both running nicely. I had shapeshifter and some other tom-foolery on my macbook, but it upgraded itself without a hitch (I was using the default themes though).
Everything seems to work. Spaces is cool, but I'm not sure if I'll use it on the imac as that has plenty of room - definitely use it on the macbook.
Time machine is a bit crap (or I'm stupid) as I can't get it to recognise my network shares and use those - also they don't seem to come up as mounted drives anymore, just folders - which might be part of the problem.
I like the dock.
Back to Mac is just way cool - keeps track of the IP of your home pc and is accessible from anywhere, finally making dotmac worth the money.
Oh, and both were "upgrade in situ" not "archive & install""See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Both machines done. One clean install, one upgrade. Installs went ok but had problems reinstalling old software on the clean one. I suspect there will be an upgrade pretty quickly.
One question, who in Apple thought that dreadful default desktop image was a good idea?Comment
