Bah, 10.5 just blows.

Ok, I’m clearly not the only person who is having problems with Leopard. But I have to say this is the worst Mac OS upgrade I’ve been through.

My mail is screwed, mapping to my ESB drives is screwed, I can’t connect to IBM’s wireless anymore, every once in a while a PhantOSX (what I’m calling Phantom OS X weirdness) steals my mouse. Lots of things like that. I don’t want to downgrade though, I’m just spent.
