Well about a week ago I updated to 10.5.2 on my iMac, all was good and I continued to believe my Apple walked on water.  For some reason I simply forgot about Murphy's law, you know what can go wrong will go wrong? (or something like that) 

So at any rate back to my story, last night I was having internet connectivity issues when playing one of my all time favorite games (World of Warcraft -- aka WarCrack).  When this happened, I would run down stairs and look at my modem, check my router, reset both and then run back upstairs to check out my connection.  I forgot to mention, I have Win XP Pro installed on a partition, which is where I do most of my development work and occassional game play. 

So after running up and down the stairs a couple times, I decide to reboot my Mac and test my connection in the Leopard OS (Usually rock solid I might add).  I grab a coke and make my way back to my desk, when I notice something quite odd... my Mac is still booting up?  If you can picture a deer standing in the middle of the road stairing at the car that is about to run over them, that is basically what I did.  I was dumb founded... So I do a hard reboot and wait... still my screen is white with the pretty Mac Icon in the middle and occassionally I would be greeted with the small circular, dont worry I really am trying to boot up icon. 

After doing this about 4 times, I decide well I wonder if I can boot into Windows.  Yes Windows I dear say, could it be that the Mac 10.5.2 update would possibly hinder Leopard from booting, but it would let Windows boot up?  Nahhhhhhh of course not... I hold down my trusty option button while hard rebooting once again and behold....Windows boots up.  I called my buddy Kyle Hayes and just had to tell him this, mostly because its shocking, but also quite humarious at the same time.

I decided to throw in my Leopard Disc and boot from that doing a full system restore, prior to the 10.5.2 update of course.  I must say even with that "hiccup" time machine just really kicks ass, seriously that backup option in Leopard is just great.  The restore took about 2 hours and I didnt lose a thing.  I went in and grabbed a couple songs I downloaded and some pictures I moved over from other time machine backups after the 10.5.2 update and I was back in business.  I still haven't updated to 10.5.2 yet and I probably wont until I see something new released that fixes some of the bugs (like this one).
