    Awesome, thanks for the response, Nick. Looking forward to going Mac [:)] I've had it with Windows. Not that Mac won't have issues, of course, but I expect far fewer.

    I plan on using SuperDuper to make clones nightly (it handles incremental clones too, very cool). That will be my failsafe as well, in case anything goes wrong with the Leopard upgrade later this year.

    SuperDuper is great for making incremental back-ups that you can boot from - I use it every day - but the clones it makes aren't bit-for-bit copies, i.e. they aren't guaranteed to restore your software auths.

    So I keep two kinds of copies: everyday clones made with SuperDuper, and actual bit-for-bit image files made with Apple's Disk Utility (inside the Utilities folder).

    I have had some issues since installing OS 10.4.9 - the one that affects Vienna Instruments software is a change in the amount of time it takes to open (initially) a a single empty instance of the VI plugin. Prior to installing 10.4.9 this took 1' 10" but afterwords, it took 6 minutes to accomplish this.

    [[:|]]

    Launching the VI standalone on my C2D MacBook/10.4.8 takes 22 seconds. If, then, you quit and relaunch VI, it will start again in 7 seconds.

    Opening a single VI instance in Logic Pro 7.2.3 takes approx 4 seconds.

    Coqui:

    Stay with OS 10.4.8 - - no matter what I do (reinstalling the 10.4.9 update with the Combo installer, repairing permissions, running Apple's Disk Utility) load times remain variable under OS 10.4.9 - from 1 minute and 5 seconds to 6 minutes. The shortest times occur only immediately after the directory has been rebuilt by DiskWarrior. I should add that I have the enitre Cube + the Bösendorfer running on one G5 at the moment (not all at once, of course!) - so that loading times are longer than if there were fewer licenses. (My next computer - - in addition to rather than a replacement for the G5 - - will be from the next generation of MacPro desktops, whenever they become available.) Under OS 10.4.8, load times were consistently towards the short end of this spectrum.
