Runs perfectly and faster than 3.x on Mac 10.4, Win 2K, and Win XP. The biggest downside is that some addons are still not updated for v 3.5.

I think it's fine to report that you've got problems but your post makes it sound like 3.5 is a disaster, which is obviously not the case.

A good read, indeed. I basically follow all those rules. When you read my shoulder bag shoot out and look at the weights I posted and the packed weight of the bags, you will see that the packing list is quite comparable in weight and the final weight quite similar.

I came to 8kg with a bag that was 1.15kg heavier than what he used and shoes that were most likely at least 200g heavier than what he used (super heavy cordovan Aldens).

Here is what I packed. Mind you, this is the packed stuff only. He lists everything, so in the end I actually have more packed stuff. This is my two week packing list which could just as well be called the infinity packing list. Also keep in mind the power of a travel anorak. Electronics can go there quite comfortably. It will safe you and umbrella and the day pack which the author recommends.

1 suit using this method http://www.makingitclear.com/pages/foldingsuit.html , the trick is to wrap the suit around the folder with your shirts and then put the bundle into the center compartment. With two suits and an expanded compartment that would work just as well.

5 long sleeve shirts and three ties in an Eagle Creek packing folder. The folder will also go into one of the outside compartments but it really needs to be crammed in there. Once it is in there it fits. Its a matter of stuffing it through the opening. And using the folder as a core to bundle wrap the suit around is smarter anyway.

Outside compartment:

1 pair of dress shoes size 9 filled with socks. Shoes are in plastic grocery bags to save weight.

1 baggy with stuff like foldable on ear headphones, eye mask, inflatable pillow, reading light, ear plugs

1 baggy with liquids

1 baggy with hair brush etc

Putting those hard things in the outside compartment is good because they won't hit you in the side when you carry the bag.

Inside compartment:

5 pair of underwear

1 pair of jeans

1 Polo shirt

1 light sweater

Runs just fine and very snappy on my MacBookPro.

Mine seemed to work fine at first but now some pages often fail to load altogether. I posted my warning because I would afraid that those with 3.5 would have the same problems I had. Before posting I googled "Firefox 3.5 sucks" and found lots who agreed. I have even found that 3.5 is rendering images darker (tested side by side against Google Chrome, which would also load all the pages that FF wouldn't). Maybe it's just my work computer but I'll not be upgrading my netbook - yet.

I've been running the 3.5 RC for some weeks now, and I particularly like the rip-off tabs feature.

I wonder what you find "wretched" about it. I find it very good.
