He has an engineering degree, and worked for many years as the chief sound engineer for a famous singer (now deceased), so he definitely knows his hardware.<\/p>\n<p>He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also a Mac loyalist, and has earned his stripes by working with Apple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hardware and software from the earliest days. In all fairness, some of his experiences are stellar, which is why he continues to use Macs. But he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s had his share of problems too, and lately he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been keeping tags on Leopard\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rough edges.<\/p>\n<p>Rough edges?<\/p>\n<p>Didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t I say in an earlier column that my experiences with Leopard have been terrific? Indeed I have. And, despite the fact that Apple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own discussion forums and those Mac troubleshooting sites are littered with hundreds of reports of anomalous behavior, system crashes, and performance issues covering a host of setups, little has been nailed down so far.<\/p>\n<p>So what are we to suppose here? I have been suggesting that many of the problems may be traced to third-party products, both hardware and software, and their interactions with Leopard. Either way, application and driver updates ought to set things right, assuming that Apple doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to do its part as well.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Click here to read the rest of the story\" href=\"http:\/\/www.technightowl.live\/newsletter\/2007\/12\/30\/newsletter-issue-422\/#well\"><strong>Story continued in this week&#8217;s Tech Night Owl Newsletter.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day I heard from a long-time friend, a former member of a forum I managed on AOL way back when.
