I hear a software update is expected soon, so keep an eye out. Maybe run the "check for updates" each day for a while.


I like automator, but don't know what I would use it for yet.
Some ideas:
Go beyond startup items and have automator go through and do all of the things you usually do in each of those startup apps that are launched, without you having to do it, such as:
automatically launch Safari
open up several tabs with each of your favorite web sites in it

Track your freq. flyer mile acquisition progress daily in a spreadsheet:
each day at a certain time, launch Safari
go to your freq flyer pages
scrape the current point total from it and paste in a spreadsheet
Have the spreadsheet generate a pretty chart or graph or something,
integrating each day's results as they're acquired
if you really wanted to get fancy, you could dump the info into SQL
and generate a web page with a pretty picture/graph with PHP or something

Hotkey shortcuts of all varieties

Sometimes AppleScript can be a hassle. I'm hoping this is much more ...for lack of a better word... automatic.
