Leopard Blue Screen

Apparently, Leopard is giving installers a blue screen of death on more than a few machines

The link locked my machine up.

You have to stop using IE John.

What a shocking forum software setup...

I suggest no one should visit unless they want a hugely bloated page and java to run and download over 1500 items before the page is ready!

I'm on broadband but there are many places that are still on dialup (I know of places in rural Western Australia where 28k is still a speed to be desired! They would be waiting hours for the page to render!)

In all the many years of haunting the 'net, that is the worst page, technically, i have ever had the misfortune to visit.

When it is eventually downloaded, you get EVERY posting in the thread

Thank goodness that the list owner of TSF set it up properly and only get, at maximum, the last 20 postings per thread.

Can't blame IE7. It didn't exactly lock my machine up: as Donald said, it wants to download 1500 items and I couldn't do anything else whilst it was doing it. I gave up in the end and I'm on fast broadband. God help anyone on Dial-up.

Mind you, what do you expect from a Mac forum?
