I am still on 10.4. My wife is on 10.5. I held off on upgrading
because I kept hearing stories about various driver problems. I haven't
been hearing those lately. Are we all clear at this point?

If you're looking for a bug-free operating system, you're in the wrong
universe.

I've been using 10.6 since before release day and have found it to be at
least as good or better than previous versions. No doubt people have
problems with it, but that's always the case.

Thanks, Tom. You are correct. I never had any problems going from 10.2
to 10.3 or 10.3 to 10.4 and my wife never had any problems with 10.5.
It's just that I seemed to be hearing about more problems with 10.6 than
with earlier releases. Perhaps they were from people with more highly
customized systems.

I have 10.4 bootable backups, so if I have to I can always go back.

Yep. All clear. In fact, I refuse to use a Mac without it.

Still can't use my network-connected HP Multifunction for scanning
under 10.6. I can print just fine on it.

That's the only thing keeping me at 10.5 on one of my machines. The
rest are at 10.6 and I couldn't be happier with them.

Plain Bread alone for e-mail, thanks. The rest gets trashed.
Are you posting responses that are easy for others to follow?
