Ok, well actually, I used a gift certificate I had, but still, I could have picked up an iPhone instead. I chose Leopard mainly because I had been having so much trouble with my very-new iMac and was hoping Leopard would cure what ails me. After a somewhat tedious install (due to my previously mentioned troubles) I got it up and running. It's pretty, I'll give 'em that. It doesn't have a lot of new features, but it has a few. My favorite so far is Time Machine (see screeshot to the left). I turned on Time Machine, pointed it to my external firewire drive, and that was it. Now, my Mac takes hourly backups of every file I have (including photos, music, documents, etc). The larger the firewire drive, the farther back my backups will be kept. So I could go back and look at my Word document for my 3-weeks-ago version, or I could find a photo I accidentally deleted. Hopefully I will also have all my data were my Mac to crash. Also hopefully, I won't have to test that theory. I will blog more on Leopard if interesting things arise. Would I recommend you buy it? Probably not. Wait until you buy a new Mac, it will come with Leopard. <p style="text-align: right; font-size: 8px">Blogged with <a href="http://www.flock.com/blogged-with-flock" title="Flock" target="_new">Flock</a></p><!-- technorati tags begin --><p style="font-size:10px;text-align:right;">Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Apple" rel="tag">Apple</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Mac" rel="tag">Mac</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/software" rel="tag">software</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Leopard" rel="tag">Leopard</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/operatingsystem" rel="tag">operatingsystem</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/time%20machine" rel="tag">time machine</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/backup" rel="tag">backup</a></p><!-- technorati tags end --> Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:11:22 EDT <a href="/articles/2007/10/31/blogging-from-mac-os-10-5-leopard">Blogging from Mac OS 10.5 Leopard</a> <a href="/articles/2007/10/31/blogging-from-mac-os-10-5-leopard">Blogging from Mac OS 10.5 Leopard</a>
