Oooh, connecting to Cisco VPN servers. I hope this means that I can unistall the stupid Cisco VPN client and use Tigers built in client.

We wanted iBooks. We wanted Video iPods. We wanted video iTMS. We get a Mac OS X 10.4 update! Now, that's what Steve meant for the 30th birthday :D What more could you want ;-)

Anyway, some interesting stuff in there and thanks again Apple (seriously). If Apple can do .x fixes once every few months, it is amazing it takes Microsoft several years for a service pack!

Now I'm hopeful that there might be some form of new hardware tomorrow. The last few updates have come alongside new Macs being announced or shipping.

45.3M may take a while on a busy Monday night net.

Anyone installed yet?

Regarding the reference to iCal & contacts syncing with mobile phones in the 10.4.6 update, has that always been the case or does this add any credibility to the iPhone chatter of late?

45.3Mb, not fair, mine is 65.8.

I have 15" PowerBook running 10.4.5. Will be installing it shortly.

- mounting and unmounting iDisk volumes

It's about time that they do something about this issue. I'm still at work so I have to wait a little bit before I can do my update.

Good Luck with your Restart peoples.
