Update to Leopard
My own update to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) has been almost smooth so far. On an end-user machine, a Mac Mini at home, it was without any difficulties. Just slide in the DVD and wait for some time. I'm not sure how long it took, as I left it alone, but it... |

Dave Winer in Scripting News for 7/3/2007: This idea snuck up on me. I was watching an Apple ad on TV, while washing dishes, so I caught it at an angle, and lost the sense of scale, and thought the iPhone was a tablet computer. Then I realized that it ... |
