apple leopard OSX 10.5

i love my macbook more and more all the time, and leopard has just taken the cool another notch up.

a couple of quick things… firstly, leopard has some excellent new features which are just awesome and really add to the usefulness of the mac for me. i won’t bother going into all the stuff they’ve added because it’s been done over and over again all over the web, but to actually play with it live is fantastic. well worth the wait and upgrade price of $150. if only stinking windows was that good or that cheap! dream on…

second bit of cool was that i pre-ordered this on the apple website and they promised a delivery on oct 26, the worldwide release date. i figured that they were kidding themselves and i would probably get it a couple of days later. but, to my total surprise, apple delivered my nice shiny disk on oct 26, as promised. it was nice to get the little package on friday afternoon and be able to play with it over the weekend. now, if there’s something i really value, it’s people doing what they say they’re going to do, so apple scored a big plus in my books with that little move. nice one!

a “first” post

well, in my attempts to shift my blog to a new host, for a wide range of reasons which mostly involve the incompetence of others, i myself committed what appears to be a small error in managing to lose all of my previous posts… :-(

so, i’ll try and work that little problem out, but in the meantime it appears that my blog is back up and running, at the very least. sorry to anyone who actually cared about what i wrote about previously, but perhaps losing all that stuff is actually a good thing – a chance to re-create myself?! :-)
