 Pleased with Tiger July 9, 2007

I always dread the updates on my computer, because it's Murphy's Law for me. Something always goes wrong. However, I was very pleased with Tiger. I followed the instructions and installed it without a hitch. I'm thrilled with the new "goodies", too. I like Dashboard that allows me to check up on the weather, time, and other options at the click of a button. I use the dictionary and calculator often, because they are so easy to access. Mac did a nice job on Tiger 10.4.6.
Less Stable, but more features June 21, 2007

Unfortunately, while Apple continues to try to find ways to make this OS unique, it has been breaking some things that worked. The printing function has been especially poorly supported during the 10.4.x sequence. Problems that never surfaced in Panther in print functions are now frequent. Most other functions seem to work OK. Since I am not surfing 90% of the time like a lot of other folks, but crunching numbers, I do see a lot of the solidity of the OS. I just wish they'd stop breaking things that worked before. Networking is solid and adding new HW is a snap. The frills associated with internet and related communications are non-integral for me.
Another good OS May 31, 2007

I upgraded my mini to Tiger and haven't finished learning the new features. The dashboard is nice, and more useful than I expected.
I'm a little disappointed that the upgrade seems to have broken my file sharing with the Windows systems in our home. That is, I cannot connect to shares that are on the Windows systems. These shares did work before the upgrade. I'll fix this when I get a chance; I don't need to share files that often with the Windows systems anyway.
I was happy with 10.3, and I'm happy with 10.4. I expect this stuff to work and it does!
 Absolutely not accessible May 21, 2007

I have had a Mac for several years but have not been able to use it lately. I also have a PC which, because Windows is so unreliable and unmaintainable, basically compelled me to try the Mac again by installing OS X Tiger and hoping the Apple had improved their accessibility for epileptics.
Specifically:
1) Allowing to disable blinking caret
2) Allowing to disable useless spinning icons during startup and when busy
3) Allowing to disable totally useless "ripple" in progress bars
People with photosensitive/pattern sensitive epilepsy MUST have an absolutely QUIET screen all of the time with absolutely none of the above. All this idiot blinking/rippling/scrolling make the Mac absolutely inaceessible.
I have to give up on Apple once and for all. It is a waste of time hoping for real accessibility from this company. Almost $10,000 investment down the drain for no reason other than stupid marketing gimmics as that is all the above are.
BTW, Windows is BARELY accessible with the meaningless progress bars with the relatively rapidly moving progress indicator that moves back and forth ( and conveys no meaningful status other than the computer is still powered up since it does not indicate any progress at all ) and their various worthless animations such as when you copy files. Despite the fact that Windows is a terrible system I am stuck with it.
Sorry if this is not as well written as it should be but right now my brain has been juiced from Apple induced seizures.

This is a product that I actually N-E-E-D-E-D in order to keep up with the technology required to operate my new Epson Scanner & Printer. Over and above that there are too many features to address specifically that make my Mac work faster.
