There seem to be a few quirks with Jaguar.

I first thought that pretty much everything had kept to the same preferences. I had lost the upper-right hand menu (I forgot which third-party plugin did it) and I lost the Finder...Quit menu item that I had put in using Mac OS X Hints. Oh well. Without the Quit item, I resorted to the crude login-logoff method of saving everything to the Finder just as I like it.

When I logged back in, all my preferences were scroggled. The Dock had migrated from the right to the bottom and no dynamic magnification. Worse still, all my Docked apps were gone! I had to place the applications there yet again, trying to remember what went where, removing those things I usually get to by way of LaunchBar.

My favorite window positionings were also gone. The floating Show Info window is now a little like the OS9 version—non-floating—but with disclosure triangles. Just when I was starting to get the hang of a single Info window and was accommodating to it! Ah well.

Yesterday, the only real problem I had was reaching the Internet, but that was a DSL modem problem. Verizon working on that. Funny coincidence, that the modem went out at the same time I did the installation.

IE doesn’t seem to start up, but I use OmniWeb for the most part. OmniWeb seems to have lost its history, but my Cookie settings are fine. The toolbar prefs were messed up, as were the download prefs. My download list is also gone. Ah well. I must have put those files somewhere.

All the music videos have taken their toll, and I am too low in disk space, causing Radio Userland problems, so I won’t say that it’s Jaguar—yet.

Favorite window positioning for OS X:

One column window in the upper left, one column window across the bottom, one list view behind both, and the Show Info window in the upper right. Though now that there is no single Information window, I will have to modify this.
