Is it just me, or does the eject key now require that one hold it down for about half a second?

Ok, so I'm not crazy. My iMac did seem slower than my MacBook (10.4.8).

Erm, I made the mistake of downloading the update.  It doesn't play nice with Pro Tools, which is the whole reason for this computer to be.  So, how do I revert back to 10.4.8?

Wha?  that's crappity.  There's thing number 1 I don't like about macs.  No way to roll back.

YES! I though i was getting weaker and not pressing the eject button hard enough

That is a change in 10.4.9, so you don't accidentally press the eject button.

And how exactly would you roll back to a previous update on windows?

There is a feature called "restore points". Was SOOOOOO useful for when I was beta-testing Vista (dumb drivers).

Quicktime has flaked out on me twice since this update. Both times after it was open for awhile it became non-responsive, in that you would double click for a movie to play and nothing happened. Both times this happened it was on my Intel Mac. That has NEVER happened to me before.

I actually like this: you wouldn't believe how many times I've accidentally pressed the eject button on my MacBook Pro instead of delete.

You must have Shaq-sized hands

EDIT:  Ah, I see you have a MacBook Pro.  Retracted.

1. Restart from System Disc (or Tiger disc, if system didn't ship with Tiger).

2. When you get to the part where you select the drive to install onto, click the "Options..." button at the bottom of the window.

3. Select "Archive & Install" and "Save user settings"

4. Reinstall Mac OS X 10.4.whatevershippedwithyourmac.

5. Go to Apple's Support: Downloads page.

6. Find the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Updater & download it.

7. Install 10.4.8 update.
