Looks like a few Mac users are getting a "Despite our best efforts..." unable to connect message.

Well, on my Mac Mini (Original 2004 PPC Model), OS X 10.3.9, built-in 32 MB VRAM ATI card, with the latest video card drivers for OS X 10.3.X, I get the "Despite our best efforts..." login problem, and can't get past it. I downloaded the .dmg file from the websiute and manually installed it while I was still waiting for the grid to open.

I suspect right now that it may be glitch in the Mac cleint for PPC, or something specific to certain models of Mac or OS versions.

*sigh* I hope they can fix it at their end, because if they can't I'm locked out. I can't afford to replace my computer any time soon.

We're sorry, we broke something with 10.3.9 in a last-minute fix. We're working on it now. Stay tuned!

That something you broke? It was our hearts. Can something like that ever truly be fixed?

An emergency fix is being worked on -- I'll keep you all posted as to it's progress.

Again, we're really sorry. I'm reverting one of my iMacs to 10.3.9 and keeping it there to more reliably test new builds.
