Leopard issues
I think I have mentioned before of my problem with Spaces under Leopard. To be honest I haven’t retried it since the latest patches. I must remember to do that.
There are two other applications that don’t work for me under Leopard. For my backups I was using Data Backup. It stopped working, refusing to recognize network drives. Prosoft’s technical support people were very prompt to talk to me and it turns out that Data Backup 2.x is not compatible with Leopard. 
I would need to upgrade to Version 3 for $35. Hmm… Frankly I baulk about having to pay to get my application to work through no fault of my own. I think that Prosoft should offer a free patch. I haven’t fully decided whether I will chase them further, upgrade or simply not bother to use it any more. I could return to my old manual backup script.
The other problem is a larger blow. Synergy no longer works. I cannot get my Windows machine to connect to my Mac server any more. Damn. That is annoying. It seems that I am not the only person having this issue, but oddly many others are reporting that it works fine for them under Leopard. None of the so-called solutions on the web have worked for me. The only thing I have yet to try is uninstalling Synergy and reinstalling. Actually I did try but I couldn’t get the thing to uninstall cleanly from all the menus etc. A friend of mine just gifted me with a free copy of AppZapper, so I mean to try that. More news later.
Otherwise, Leopard is an excellent o.s.
