Got Tiger up and running and so far ive had no problems at all with it.

The new mail buttons dont do a lot for me, they just dont seem right. Although they do look more ‘buttony’ i guess.
Dashboard is nice, ive used the widget things a fair bit, the temperature one seems dodgy. I looked up the webpage that it gets the info from and it has an entry for ‘Rockhampton Aiport’ yet when i type that in as the place to use in the widget it does nothing.

Ive fiddled with automator, theres some basic things i wanna do but just cant figure it out. e.g. Theres an action that lets you create a new folder, which is fine, and then theres another action that lets you copy items to a folder. How do i tell it to copy the items to the folder that gets created in a previous step?

It lets me browse for a ‘copy to’ location, but the folder i want to copy to hasnt been created yet, and i dont know the name of the folder cause it gets done when the script is run. *sigh* Maybe im trying to do too much, it just seems like its a pretty basic thing that i should be able to do.

Overall though, its a decent upgrade. All the new stuff underneath is awesome from a developer perspective. I cant wait to get my hands dirty with core image, core data, spotlight, etc etc etc
