appleinsider.com— A quickly released follow-up test build of Mac OS X 10.5.6 comes with no known problems and points to Apple getting much closer to a finished patch.

My problem is that instead of adding a button or two they've gone and gotten rid of one (OK, the button's still there they just made the whole pad a button instead of having it separate)Am I the only one who loves the right click? I use a three button (with wheel) mouse on my desktop Mac and I really wish the laptop had a trackpad with more buttons. I hate having to use keyboard combos for something that are so easy to do on my desktop.
I've experienced that, but it seemed to be a problem with the computer at the other end. Samba took freakin forever to transfer stuff, upload or download.The only computer that had the problem was my Macbook, and only to that one computer (even tried different network cards, still slow). Re-installed the Windows computer and it works fine now.
If you don't need an admin account to change file permissions (other than chmod in Terminal), something is screwed up with both of my 10.5 machines.As for the Stack, here's my scenario: I have a folder called "current" that contains aliases to various files in different places in my Documents folder. I drag the "current" folder to the Dock. If I click on "current" in the Dock and drag one of the alias icons to the Trash, it leaves the alias in place but moves the original file to the trash. It should behave the same as if I opened the "current" folder and dragged the alias to the trash (in which case, the alias would get trashed but the original file would be unaffected).
My bad... About the Stack thing. I tried it out and it's symlinks that are deleted improperly. Aliases have the expected behavior but if you create a symlink to a file and drag the symlink to the trash from a stack pop-up, the original file is deleted and the now-broken symlink is left in place.Still a bug but affects far fewer users since most Mac people don't use Terminal or symlinks.
I mentioned the aluminum to relay these are the newer Macs, opposed to the previous plastic iMacs and plastic/metal MacBook Pro's. And yes, I do believe the aluminum, in the case of the MacBook/Pro, helps distribute heat better therefore improving overall performance that would inevitably effect the ability to handle data from networks. However I would never argue that point as any increase would be barley noticeable.
