Tiger Talk

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

If you saw Angela’s post from Friday night, then you probably figured out that we did get the upgrade to Tiger installed on her eMac, and you probably know how much fun she was having with Dashboard widgets. It was a pretty painless upgrade, and once she went to bed Friday night, I spent a couple of hours playing around with it myself.

Huge step forward for incorporating Apple OS X machines into a small office SOHO network effortlessly. It’s always been possible with some expertise and work, but this could be done by anyone in no time at all. Nice…

I’m sure I’ll have more to say about Tiger as time goes on…

    As someone who still works with NT 4.0 servers in my professional life, I wasn’t thrilled when MS didn’t come up with a patch for an RPC vulnerability. On the other hand, I already have our NT 4.0 server behind a firewall with port 135 blocked, so it’s really not that big a deal. I…

    Seen mentioned in this post by Chris Haaker, a free helpdesk tracking system called Liberum. Looks like it might be pretty interesting. Don’t know that I would use it here, there’s one tech, me, and people are pretty much used to just emailing me or stopping by my office. Asking them to move to filling…
