I'm Tired

So, I arrived at the Apple Store, about 20 minutes before the re-opening for Leopard. I thought there might be 10 or so people in line, but there was actually 100 or more really nerdy people already in the queue. I felt so much geek pride at that moment. Once the store re-opened at 6pm I was in and out in about 5-10 minutes. I also got a free t-shirt, which is kind of ugly, but it's free.

As far as Leopard goes, to me it feels more like a really nice upgrade than a complete overhaul. I don't think I would have bought it, knowing what I know now, if I had a Mac running Tiger. A lot of upgrades are fantastic, especially being able to look at files without launching an application - it's like leafing through a book. Overall though, if you can't get a discount there's not a huge reason to run out and buy it. Not to mention, you'll be sitting around for 2 hours looking at the progress bar for the install, which is what I did last night. That's all for now. I'll be posting a digital camera review, and probably a further Mac update once I get wireless set-up and start taking pictures with my camera.

It feels really good, and comfortable to be part of the Mac team.
