Whoo-hoo! Looks great. I think it’s great to put a face on comments.

@Miraz Jordan And why don't you have a custom icon for WordPress comments?

It seems to be taking forever to finish. I’m on my THIRD try reinstalling Final Cut Express — apparently one of the Live Type Media discs is damaged. The system doesn’t seem to be running any faster, either. Can’t wait for the new RAM to arrive.

The good part of all this is that while I wait for software to install, I have plenty of time to do the other chore I’ve been putting off forever: cleaning my office. It’s about 90% finished and I feel so GOOD about it. I can’t wait to get back to work!

With each new major OS update (eg 10.4 to 10.5) I do a reformat first. And yes, it takes ages.

I freely try out beta software, new software that I may then trash, and generally accumulate ‘dust’. I like to reformat so I can have a good, fresh start with the OS.

That said, my MacBook Pro has been erratic recently, with an occasional kernel panic, and a reformat is my summer holiday project.

It’s interesting to hear how your clean install is going.
