Behind The Fence Mac OS
Mondays release of OS X 10.5.5 brought a slew of updates136MB worth in the Software Update version on my Macmost of which were described in Apples nicely-detailed release notes. Ive now updated all the machines in my possession, so I thought Id share my experiences with the latest OS X update.

Mac operating systems are free since the launch of OS X Mavericks in 2013. Windows 10 was likewise a free update until 29 July 2016 (out of Windows 7 8) but today, you are going to need to cover 119.99 for the Home edition of Windows 10 and 219.99 for Windows 10 Pro.
As noted, this update addresses a few areas that were probably affecting many Mac users. MacBook Air users will welcome improvements in video playback and processor core idling, and iPhone users will now find that Time Machine backs up their iPhone backups. All of us will appreciate faster Spotlight indexing, improved accuracy in handling repeating iCal events, bug fixes in Mail and who wouldnt welcome extensive graphics enhancements? These are all things Apple described, of courseso just how well do these changes work, and what else changed behind the scenes that hasnt been disclosed?
Mac's Fence serves all of Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri for commercial fencing and gates and also serves Eastern Kansas for residential fencing and gates. We've installed thousands of miles of fence: chain link, custom ornamental iron, aluminum, steel, wood, PVC, handrail, and high-security fences. Mac OS X celebrates its tenth birthday today. The groundbreaking operating system was introduced to the public on March 24, 2001. Mac OS X helped reverse Apples fortunes in the desktop PC. MenuMeters is a free open source network monitoring tool which monitors CPU, disk, memory and network activity on your Mac. However, officially the developers claims that it is not officially compatible with OS X 10.11 El Capitan or above but in tests, it does seem to work on macOS 10.12 Sierra or above.
First, for those sitting on the fence waiting for user reports, Im sure youd like to know how well OS X 10.5.5 works. In a word, my experience thus far could be best described as uneventfuland with something like an OS upgrade, thats a good thing. Ive upgraded four machines now, ranging from my aging-but-still-beloved 12-inch PowerBook G4 up to my Quad-core Mac Pro, and Ive yet to experience so much as a hiccup. Im certain, however, that someone out there has had issues with the updateits almost a certainty, given the huge number and variety of Macs out there. If theres a fundamental issue in 10.5.5, though, Ive yet to run across it. While Apple has occasionally had trouble with previous system updates, this one seems to be trouble-free, at least thus far.

So what else did Apple update that it didnt feel like talking about in its update notes? I noticed quite a few undocumented changes while browsing the upates bom file (a file that lists all files installed by the installer; in 10.5, youll find them in /Library - Receipts - boms). Most of these, however, were quite minorfor example, it seems that Dictionary has been given some new words, and the workflows in the PDF Services folder have been updated. Sadly, while some Automator workflows were updated (mainly those dealing with PDFs), the bug that broke the Create iCal events from anywhere hint is still present; that oh-so-useful workflow still wont work when used outside Automator in 10.5.5.
Sadly, thats not the only hint thats broken in OS X 10.5.5a tip for adding more power to 10.5s screen sharing is now only partially functional. The section on enabling the Bonjour browser still works, but the ability to add more buttons to the toolbar has been removed. If you liked those extra buttons, youll have to shell out $299 for a 10-machine version of Apple Remote Desktop 3. Unfortunately, Apple doesnt offer a less-expensive version for those of us with only a few Macs in the house.
One relatively major change not covered in the update notes is a new version of the X11 X Window System (which allows you to run X11-based applications in OS X). The version number has climbed from 2.11 to 2.15, and many of the X11 utilities (in /usr - X11 - bin) appear to have been updated as well.
There were also quite a few non-X11 Unix commands updated in 10.5.5. Many of the updates were for printing applications ( lp , lpstat , etc.) and network applications ( dig , nslookup , and so on.). While most of these are minor updatesthe version number on php , for instance, didnt change, but the new version was created two hours later than was my existing versionsome are more notable. ssh , which is actually OpenSSH and is used to securely connect to other hosts, jumps from version 4.7p1 to 5.1p1, bringing it up-to-date with the latest available release.

Overall, OS X 10.5.5 seems like a solid mid-lifecycle product release. There are, of course, still some annoying problems I hope are fixed in 10.5.6the aforementioned Automator/iCal issue and the ability (which we had in 10.4) to add more columns to Spotlights results view are the two at the top of my list. But even without these fixes, 10.5.5 brings welcome improvements to the table, and it seems to do so without any obvious downsides.
Macs Fence was founded by John McNeff in 1949. Macs Fence was one of his three Companies: Macs Fence, Macs Lawn and Garden, and Macs Power Mower. All three were conveniently located on Parallel ave in Kansas City, KS. John McNeff transferred ownership in 1981 to John Bell. Bell worked for McNeff for 10 years prior. He expanded the business from doing only residential fence into doing commercial as well as industrial fence. Later on in 2000, he relocated the business to its current location. Macs Fence continued to grow into one of the top fence companies in Kansas City. John Bell was well known across the industry for his hard work and knowledge of quality fence. He later on turned ownership over to his son Chad Bell, in 2012. John Bell continued working for Macs Fence until he passed away in 2015. He was in the fence industry for a total of 43 years. Chad Bell started learning the fence industry at a young age and will continue to grow the business by meeting the needs and expectations of the customers.
