Anybody know the exact nature of this bug? I wonder if it turned the 20" iMac into an explosive device.

I was hoping for a warning that said "do not install 10.3.3 on a anodized black g5 powerbooks."

It made the 20 inch iMac explode and implode at the same time causing an antimatter hole through which evil gnomes devoid of cloaking need would come into this world and steal one of each pair of socks for everyone on the planet. It would have been really really bad.

Ah, damn... So that's why my socks have been going.

10.3.3 probably caused some sort of hardware failure to be pulled as a seed. I wonder how many Macs are harmed during the making of Mac OS X.

The bug involving the 20-inch iMac was a fairly localized one.

It would only affect users living in small southern California town. According to internal Apple documents, if 7F24 was installed on a 20-inch iMac in this small town, an ancient prophecy would be fulfilled and a portal known as the "Hellmouth" would open, swallowing the town and unleashing ten thousand years of unmitigated evil upon humanity.

All in all, I think pulling the seed was a bit of an over-reaction on Apple's part.

Can't be any worse than what comes out of Redmond on a daily basis.

As much as my creative imagination wants to explain how the gnomes are going to turn stolen underpants into profit....

Anyone here 'the' rumor that the 10.3.3 release (final version - after portal to Redmond uh I mean Hell is closed) - will be the installed version on Gen 2 G5s?
