Each time Apple releases an update to their O/S, I’m amazed at how they continue to come up with stuff I “need” and didn’t know I needed until they told me I needed it.
(Let me re-read that. ….. Yeah, makes sense.)
Their latest update gives me better (and faster) file preview functionality, more stability, a nicer Quicktime environment, faster file searching and a bunch of other things … not to mention getting BACK 16GB+ after the install. I think that is the first time I’ve ever done a major upgrade and got space back!
Shortly after the update, I was also reminded that: just because I have a Mac doesn’t mean I can do updates without remembering that I use my Mac at the office. I suddenly realized that my printers stopped working (no drivers yet from Ricoh) and Notes started to do flaky things. Example from my calendar:
Not the end of the word at all. I can live without the icons that are missing. However, I was reminded of the fact that I still use this as my primary “business” machine, and despite how cool/hip/Apple-esque it might feel to be a Mac user, normal “business” rules apply (checking for supported software, updates, testing, not being an early adopter, etc.).
Kinda makes me wonder what else has changed that I just haven’t discovered yet…

Hello!
Have you tried these Ricoh Drivers http://support.apple.com/kb/DL902 ? The ones from Ricoh.com did not work for me, either.
The missing icons are a problem here, too (Notes 8.5 with an old 6.54 template).
Bye, Frido.
