This is probably a useless question, but I still find that having downloaded tens of megabytes and not being able to see any show-offable evidence of improvement over the previous version is a major disappointment.

So, here comes: anybody know of some nifty tricks you can do with 10.2.4 that were not possible in 10.2.3?

Thanks

Uhm... Why do you expect major changes in a minor system update? Minor releases are predominately BUG FIX RELEASES, with a few exceptions (like 10.2.3 added force feedback and so on).

Hehe, fair enough, but mind you, I didn't ask for MAJOR CHANGES. Just some nice little tricks to stick another geek's eyes out with.

Cheers,

Improvements in Bluetooth handling.

Select a file in the Finder go to the services menu and select "Send File to Bluetooth device". Think that is new.

I use it to keep a backup of important (small) files on my T68i. To do that you have to give the file the extension .gif and it will be saved as image. If you transfer it back, just rename it and its there!

Anything "noticeable" is probably major.

The buttons themselves aren't, that ability has been around since the beginning. All that's new is the drop down menus that you can add to process the PDFs i.e. send to mail etc. They are pretty nifty IMO.

The address book doesn't close when you close it's last window. That was a huge new feature for me. I fricking hate when apps close without my asking them to...

Not really worth showing off, but at least it is a visible change
