I just think about buying the last "Mac Box" with Leopard and Ilife09... I wonder if it worths it ?

I want to write a novel and don't have any good program here on my Imac...

If you really use iLife, then I guess it is worth it. Personally, I wouldn't buy it. I only use iMovie and got rid of everything else. I kept iWeb. I don't know why lol

Well, iLife is worth it. I use iPhoto all the time. iMovie and GarageBand are great apps that are nice to have around when you need them. I wouldn't bother buying Leopard now that Snow Leopard is available, so you could save money just buying iLife.

I want to write a novel and don't have any good program here on my Imac...

OK...Sorry. I was saying I have already the idea and the plan for a book. It's been several years I have a story stucked in my head and I am no writer at all.

eek why is that video so huge eek

I can't wait till I get the upgrade nod Is it amessing? mushy

I actually gained 8 gigs of freespace on my mac upgrading. nod


I'm not sure why Apple is calling this thing a major version upgrade though.

It's not that different from OS-X leopard. Although I noticed a huge difference in Safari and Finder. Finder is blazing fast now and so is Safari.

The new Quicktime is terrific, but still not that much in the way of a major upgrade. lol



I guess they're calling this a major upgrade cause underneath the hood, they've re-written everything in 64 bit and whatnot.

No biggie to me though--OS-X is great on it's own... reinventing the wheel here isn't necessary.

It could be my imagination but quicktime seems to run much quicker and smoother under OS-X.

Either way it's nice to install a newer version of your OS and it actually run even faster and take up less space--that's pretty cool. lol

It's nice that Apple leaned out 10.6. Hopefully there won't be driver issues down the road. My main concern before buying Snow Leopard would be compatibility issues with Adobe CS4. OS 10.5 was a total dick to Adobe CS when it first came out.

Mainly because they stripped out all of the PowerPC code. Snow Leopard is Intel only.

Well, they readily admit it isn't; that's why it's only $29.

nod The Finder was rewritten. Safari 4 does seem faster than it did on Leopard.

You're talking about the photoshop CS4 right? Mine seems to run a bit faster with Snow loepard.

I haven't tried Dreamweaver CS4 yet.

Yes.
I heard Microsoft Word has a couple of problems, but I haven't exerperienced any so far, and I've been in Word all weekend.

I would imagine a fix for these will be out pretty damned fast considering how minor the issues have been so far.

I haven't personally seen any issues except with Flip-for-Mac's on-the-fly conversion of hardcore internet porn files for quicktime to play. And then the only thing I see there is that it tries to convert files for viewing even if I only select the file with no intention to load it and view it (perhaps this is linked to a preview feature?). It's been very minor, and I've been able to jack my cock with religious fervor to the same hardcore porn titles I loved so dearly before upgrading. So meh. No worries.

Well, I use iWork so, I shouldn't have any issues with that. I am worried about the other software I use for school (Eagle, GeoGebra, MathType and Matlab). Also, I use aMSN and it would SUCK if that stopped working lol
