Snow Leopard experiences
So I've been using Snow Leopard for a while now, so I thought I would detail some first impressions. First the good things:
- Cisco VPN support built in. The Cisco VPN client on the mac caused me many problems, and frequently caused kernel panics. Snow Leopard has a built in client so I've uninstalled the Cisco software and my system is far more stable.
- It is smaller. I got hard drive space back. This is great.
- Faster. It feels much more responsive.
Finally the not so good:
- Wireless is less reliable. I turn my wireless network off when I'm not using it. If my mac is turned on when I turn the wireless network on then it doesn't pick up the wireless network. I suspect this might be related to my wireless network not broadcasting its network name, but it is still not good.
- 1Password does not work with Safari 4 very well. I have it working now (I had to make Safari 4 run in 32-bit mode), but each 1Password update has a habit of breaking things
So generally I'm very happy, other than a few minor niggles
Thanks

You didn't use 1Password 3 beta? It was available to any users on SnowLeopard, and is now public anyway. I've been using it without problem on SL and 64bit Safari
D'oh, I need to fix my OpenID provider
I like snow leopard but we've found one major big that they need to fix asap. It's in iCal. I'd you snooze a recurring reminder it resets all reminders for the recurring event. We're getting reminders for peoples birthdays from 2005!
@Adrian I did look at using 1Password 3 but when the beta was closed I didn't like the license agreement. It might be different now it is open. The main issue I have with 1Password2 on Snow Leopard is each update breaks it and I have to manually work around the problem again.
@Tim I haven't seen that problem, but I have also disabled iCal notifications. Since I sync with my phone I get the notification from that and do not need it twice.
