10+ YEARS


Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

The upgrade saga continues...

Continuing from yesterday...

Today I tried doing a "clean install" with Panther. That didn't work either - it quit with a "installation failed" error. Finally, I tried erasing my hard drive and going that route. Then Panther said it couldn't find an OS X installation to upgrade. To make matters worse, I can't boot to my OS X 10.1 nor 10.2 install disks. I hold down Ctrl+C with no luck. Thanks to some advice on the Apple Discussion Forums - I'm now restoring back to 10.2. I suppose I'll try to upgrade again after that - but I'm suspicious that the CDs are bad.

Later: Must be a bad install CD. I restored my PowerBook with the restore DVD and tried to upgrade. It made it most of the way through the upgrade, and then gave me a gray screen with a spinner at the bottom. After 20 minutes of waiting, I figured it was hosed and re-installed 10.2 with the DVD. I guess I'll head to the Apple store for an exchange tomorrow. Panther truly sucks right now in my opinion - don't upgrade unless you're a glutten for punishment (like I am).
