More OS X 10.5.2/Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 feedback
I've added 4 more reports (and some updates to previous posts) to the Feedback on 10.5.2/Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 page. Included are notes on USB 2.0 PCI card/Connected Memory Stick (now OK in sleep/wake), a Mac Mini owner that some some IR/BT issues, another MBP/8600M owner note (w/screenshot) on some display artifacts/external monitor issues, and a PB G4 owner notes on DVD player problems in 10.5.2 if the graphics update was applied. A G5 tower owner that had problems previously with the install sent a follow-up saying a reinstall from the (preferred) Combo updater download seems to have fixed it.

2008 Mac Pro owner feedback page updated
I've added 8 more reports to the 2008 Mac Pro owner feedback page. (Some long, some noted they still see graphics corruption/freezes at times...) Also links to a reader's Petition to Apple for a fix for those that have seen this problem repeatedly.

More Apple TV 2.0 Update Feedback
I've added another reader's notes on the Apple TV 2.0 update to the page of Apple TV User Reports/Tips, etc.. He also mentioned seeing some unnecessary recopying of videos (as I did - just from scrolling through the list of shows). The fix for me was to run each video/tv show in iTunes (even for just a second) to remove the unplayed flag (dot)... that solved it here. (Before it would repeatedly copy the same shows each time I just scrolled through the list of them on the AppleTV - at least for those that were shown as unplayed on the iMac's source lib.)

G5 Tower Random Shutdowns page updated
I've added another report to the G5 Tower Random Shutdown page. I asked if he'd tried checking power supply connections and the workaround many had used - setting Energy Saver Performance option to "reduced" (not an optimal fix but has worked for several readers with this problem).
