So, should I upgrade to iOS 6 now? Or wait a few days?
When was the last time an iOS upgrade caused significant problems?
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I would be concerned if you have anywhere to be this afternoon, since I imagine the download will take a lot longer today than a few days from now.
I don't need to leave the house for a few hours, so I started downloading, and it is sloooow.

OK..my laptop's (emachine) USB ports are all screwed. Don't work. Would cost more to fix than to get a new computer.
I bought a printer 4 months ago...it's USB. Epson Stylus NX130
Anyone know a hack that lets me friggin' PRINT? I canna afford a new laptop and it's driving me BUGSHIT now being able to print or copy or scan.

Good point, Jon. I think I'll wait a day or two.

Jeez, that estimated time remaining thingie is useless. It went from one hour to one minute and is now back up to 10 minutes... 8 minutes... 2 minutes... 6 minutes.
Why do they even bother?

If your USB ports don't work, you'll have to print via the network. Either a share off another computer or a cheap dedicated print server (Like this thing: [link] ). It can be a bit of a pain to configure a print server, but it will work for printing. Probably not for scanning though.

Yeah, when I downloaded Mountain Lion it did that. The download would just freeze for long periods of time.

ya'll need to go to the direct download link.
I am not updating to ios6 until the maps issue is dealt with (e.g. google releases a maps app). I can't afford right now in a new city to lose access to the good maps app.
