Hmm, looklike looprumors.com is being quoted a little too often lately. Dispite their "spoty" accuracy.
Anyways, I just hope 10.2.5 does something for me ...

Audio disc recording?

gorickey · Mar 27, 2003, 07:43 AM

LoopRumors.com just updated their story and said now that 10.2.5 will officially be released before 10.3 comes out...

Come on people, quit reading filth sites like that.

wadesworld · Mar 27, 2003, 09:03 AM

Considering it's already been released to developers - gee that's a tough one to predict.

Geez, I wasn't expecting that much from Panther, let alone a minor upgrade.

Not sure where you saw that at.

Looks like a load of crap to me.. Eveyone already knows 10.2.5 is coming. No doubt about that. But it's mainly bug fixes.. I've read the seed note for it. And it doesnt tally with the looprumors thing at all..
I'd paste some/all of the seed note here. But it probably isnt allowed, so..

LOL, I was kidding...did you see the "

"??

Basically, what I was trying to say is this site always states the obvious and already known.

About the ONLY thing I would believe out of their mouths is that 10.2.5 will be released before 10.3...

Yoda's Erotic Piggyback · Mar 27, 2003, 01:32 PM

Gee wiz, loop rumors sux. I think someone here owns that site as their crap rumors keep getting posted.

Superchicken · Mar 27, 2003, 09:58 PM

what kind of name is Loop Rumors anyway? CARS all the way baby!

DoughBoy · Mar 27, 2003, 10:24 PM

I think the name LoopRumors refers to the fact that Apple's HQ address is:

One Infinite Loop

Superchicken · Mar 28, 2003, 01:24 AM

Ohhh I get it... still a dumb name...

PLEASE, APPLE, make 10.2.5 support the Bluetooth Printing Profile. My PowerBook should have been advertised as, "built-in Bluetooth... sort of".

ShotgunEd · Apr 8, 2003, 10:14 AM

so basically 10.2.5 will fix everything that was broken by 10.2.4 and the securtiy update and add some new exciting features like enhanced Kernel Panics and faster spinning beachballs

MacGorilla · Apr 8, 2003, 11:01 AM

Will it be snappy??

forkies · Apr 8, 2003, 02:52 PM

As others have mentioned, I think this "news" falls under the "no frick" category.

Adam Betts · Apr 8, 2003, 03:24 PM

I bet we will get 10.2.5 and 10.2.6 because 10.3 seem a little far away.

mikerally · Apr 8, 2003, 04:51 PM

I bet we will get 10.2.5 and 10.2.6 because 10.3 seem a little far away.

Well, 10.0.0 went all the way to 10.0.4, and 10.1.0 went all the way to 10.1.5 - wouldn't surprise me if 10.2.0 went all they way to 10.2.6.

normyzo · Apr 8, 2003, 11:56 PM

Actually, it looks like 10.2.5 is going to fix a number of issues that people here have been bitching about for a while. Give them some more time to qualify it.
