I know, right? I still had around 18 hours left? but there was time to kill during the afternoon, so I said, "What the hey? I'll do my taxes."

Took me about an hour and $12.95.

Dear Blick, Herb, xairbusdriver, and WeatherCat system admins . . . .

I imagine this is that last time you will ever have to reboot in your life.

With all the bugs in Yosemite!?!??    Surely you jest!

Back when I was running a LINUX server, there was something of a contest of how long you could keep your server running without rebooting.  I could easily go for months.  Even our Mac Mini that serves as our Internet access router can easily go for many months without rebooting.  Of course it is still running OS 10.6 Snow Leopard.  I sure miss that version of OS X.  It is high time that Apple decide the stability and ruggedness are just as important as additional functionality.

At least 10.10.3 fixed the bugs that made it impossible to sync iOS devices over WiFi.  Also for the moment it seems like zapping the PRAM might have cleared out that memory leak in Path Finder.

We shall see . . . . .

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

"Memory leaks in PathFinder" Never have heard of this. But I see you've contacted Cocoatech about it. No leaks showing on my iMac, running PF from startup to shutdown. Running PF on the mini which is now on 24/7. Only time I see slow downs is when SuperDuper makes its daily backups around 9:30pm. By then, I'm slowing down, also! [blush]

Are you running PF as a Finder replacement or just on top of Finder?

It's a little known fact that the IRS deletes 10 minutes from each new year. They say that this increases the net income because it has to cover less and less actual time. I have a link to this on WikipediA, somewhere... just search with DuckDuckGo, I'm sure it's there... :P

Path Finder was probably OS leaks (Was: OS X 10.10.3)

Dear xairbusdriver and WeatherCat sys-admins,

"Memory leaks in PathFinder" Never have heard of this. But I see you've contacted Cocoatech about it. No leaks showing on my iMac, running PF from startup to shutdown.

I've only been running two days since zapping the PRAM so I'll wait one more day before getting on the Cocoatech forum and declare that the problem is solved.  For the moment though Path Finder is being reasonable with memory use.

Are you running PF as a Finder replacement or just on top of Finder?

I run it on top.  AppleScripts need the Finder so I really cannot give up on the Finder completely.

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

OS X 10.10.3 Supplemental Update 1.0 is out. Mainly fixes video driver issues. Software Update or <direct from Apple Support>. Have not installed/updated, yet, myself.

PS: Don't think Apple has ever needed to go all the way to 10 updates, but I would love to see "OS X 10.10.10"! Which could be shortened to OS 40. [banghead] After all, we're now up to OS 33... [rolleyes2]

Considering the number of bugs in this release (Re: OS X 10.10.3)

Dear xairbusdriver and WeatherCat cyber entomologists . . .

PS: Don't think Apple has ever needed to go all the way to 10 updates, but I would love to see "OS X 10.10.10"!

Considering the number of bugs that still appear to be Yosemite. . . . . . . .

You may well have your wish! 


Oh well, . . . . Edouard
