on friday inside mac games said that the mac client for SL went gold... did it? usually they are a few days behind on announcing SL updates and i haven't received an updated client, or heard anything in the forums. so... Lindens... are congratulations in order? cause i would be very happy to hear that all us mac users are finally gonna get out of beta  _____________________

*giggle*
My husband got a little freaked when he saw that "beta" thing on the installer when downloaded for the first time last month. I explained it had been out for OSX for over a year... ;D But everytime something goes wrong, he blames "that damned beta software!" |

Maybe this means there's an update in the pipeline which has the gold status...?
Hope they fix the problem with the Nvidia 6800 Ultra card so I can wear attachments again without all the graphics going completely berserk. Pretty please ?  Otherwise I have to say its been the most stable beta software I've ever used ! |

As long as they fix that bug that enables and checks Use Avatar Vertex Program when it really shouldn't. I am tired of having to help Mac users who have suddenly found their avatar has gone all spikey with their head in their groin....
I actually helped a friend who was about to lay out money on a brand new Powerbook because his iBook stopped displaying avatars after the last update. I told him to try unchecking AVP, and it solved the problem. Saved him $2500 in the process. _____________________

Nope, haven't heard anything. I actually rarely see any mention of SL in Mac media, so I would tend to notice it. Probably doesn't make much difference now, except the official status won't say "beta."

This is what the LL news letter Nov. 2004 vol. 2 said about this...
After months in Beta, Second Life for Macintosh OSX.3 is officially available for download. Mac loyalists have a well-deserved reputation for artistic talent, which pretty much makes them perfect candidates for Second Life. Residents skilled in Photoshop®, Poser ®, and other Mac-friendly tools are highly valued by the community, because these skills are directly translatable into innumerable in-world projects, from architecture to custom animations to fashion. And there's already a large welcome wagon, waiting for them: one of Second Life's biggest support groups is the aptly-named Macintosh Users. Mac Lovers Join Now  _____________________

I got the newsletter, said "oh goody," went to the download page -- and
 it's the same old SecondLifeBeta_1_5_7.dmg. |
