<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Just thinking about your comment on the mac running like a dog on a mbp. I've had that before with 10.6.8. I applied the 10.6.8 combo update and it was like getting a brand new mac after that update. Have you tried doing that? Apple and their software update when it comes to the os update I think it misses stuff out or silently fails on certain hardware. When applying it through downloading the update manually from <a href="http://www.apple.com/support">www.apple.com/support</a>, and installing it manually it must do it correctly. </div><div><br></div><div>Jason C. <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 29 Dec 2011, at 11:18, Shannon Carver <<a href="mailto:shannon.carver@gmail.com">shannon.carver@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi,<div><br></div><div>We run a 100% Mac shop at work, on everyone's laptops/desktops (servers use a more sane CentOS).
