Excellent. It's now Leopard ready yet again. Is this going to be the ready version that actually works?

Yeah, actually this new build works so much better. Everything runs quicker and my external drives mount properly. I can go on and on. Just wanted to say that there is a noticeable improvement in performance on this most recent build.
