I have updated to Mac OS X 10.2.1 and iTunes 3.0.1. Everything seems to work ok. I have tried both AirPort-based net connections and Ethernet, without problems.

Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.2.1: "Apple today released the first update to the company's new operating system, bringing it to version 10.2.1." (MacCentral via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]

While I'm writing this I'm also installing iTunes 3.0.1 and Mac OS X 10.2.1 onto my iBook.

Microsoft Claims Lion's Share Of OS Market: "RedSherriff reports on 17 September that Microsoft claims 96.75% of the worldwide OS market, and OneStat.com reported on 10 September that Microsoft had 97.46% of the market." (eMarketer via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]

So, if Apple has 3.1% of the market and Linux 3.9% (speculative numbers), some people must have several OSes on their computers. ;-)

Create URL launchers with drag and drop: "...wanted to keep a clipping of a website address. Highlighting the address and dragging it to the desktop resulted in a 4K file with ".webloc" for its extension, and the icon for a web url file. Double clicking on the file took me directly to the site."
