Re: [MBZ] first impressions on snow leopard
since Apple didn't release OSX v10.6 (or insert name of non-sequential kitty here) until Aug 28th, it's not likely Elder Sons GF even has that OS unless she's since bought the upgrade. people i know who've been using it since it was in Development Release seem to like the latest OSX better than what preceded it, but from what i know after having worked there i'd be inclined to wait a bit and let the Applehead flock Beta-test it for a bit before jumping into the sheep-pen. cheers! e R A Bennell wrote: Elder son's girlfriend just (maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago) got a new Mac laptop to replace her existing 4 or 5 year old one and is really not all that happy with it.
