Pre-ordered Leopard from the Apple store, and it will be here Friday

Sorry, you made fun of Apples in your previous posts. You won't be allowed to buy one until you apologize. As penance you will have to use a classic Mac one button mouse rather than the new multi button Mighty Mouse.

THIS POST WAS MADE USING SAFARI 3.03 BETA FOR WINDOWS. I DON'T KNOW WHY, THOUGH.

Because Safari for Windows is awesome. It even has the same annoying bugs as the Mac version of choking on certain websites.

Why does it have fuzzy hard to read fonts? The fonts on an actual Mac don't suck. Safari's are as bad as a Linux desktop.

Huh? The fonts I got on Safari for Windows that I use at work are better looking than the IE or Firefox ones. I may have an earlier version. Maybe it's an Apple style "upgrade."

Linux desktop fonts really do suck.

I agree w/ Dan. On the Safari for Windows browers the font is a little thicker causing the spacing in the words to be closer. It makes it a little harder to read. This image isn't great because it's all jpg compressed, but you can see the spacing differences pretty clearly.

Yeah...I was oohing and aahing looking at 'em all. My wife came in and softly patted me on the head.

I like the look of the new dock. And the cover flow for the applications is kinda cool. I hope it doesn't bog down this old system. And putting an RSS reader in Mail is a great idea. Now I won't have to have NetNewsWire open anymore (not fond of Safari in this area). We'll see how it works.

After looking at "Amiga" screens, and realizing that isn't Leopard, I found
the shots pages, but it is just blank on my PC.
Oh, except for a bunch of ads, those come through......

Can't figure out why though....

was planning on getting a MacBook pro, but then started hearing rumors of a new MacBook coming out, so I will wait and see what fate brings. I do use an Iphone though...does that count? Other than that I use a pc for work and fun.

I have a brand new DELL docking station at work, and a six-seven year old DELL at home. I've been really good this year, so Santa will bring me a brand new Mac...can't wait! Think about it:
1. Unpack
2. Plug in
3. IT WORKS!!!!!!
4. It continues to work without the BSOD (Blue screen of Death)
