On my G3 300 MT 10.2.8 works just fine.

Fortunately, I was not fast enough to update it on my Ti G4s (800MHz and 1
GHz) powerbooks.

Anyone have ANY idea why this update is so messed up? Is this some kind of
sabotage? I just can't believe that a simple testing of it at Apple would
not have revealed all the multitude of woes that are being reported by so
MANY users both here and on mac-l.

Best,
