Nice change in the 10.11 builds. Images used for custom login screens no longer need to be messed with. Of course the install of 10.11 blew out the /Library/Caches folder, but the good news is that if you need/want a custom login window, they look go... View more

I'm very interested to hear how 9.81 works for people. I'm still at 9.73. I didn't move to 9.8 as it looked like there were a few problems. Hoping that is all resolved in 9.81. Do the Self Service issues of 9.8 seem to be worked out ? View more
