Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / November 2007So Leopard is just another mog?
Hi y'all The message I got from Dale's thread is that Leopard isn't exactly exciting - a bit like Vista wasn't, perhaps (for those creatures we do not speak of). Does anyone want to dispute this, and encourage me to take the trouble to upgrade from 10.4.10? - which in my experience is the most stable OS for a long time. An open invitation for comment. Emma > Hi y'all > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > An open invitation for comment. I'd still update (and did, of course :-). Despite all the silly interface stuff I still like the better search (spotlight doesn't seem to hang 1/2 way through typing a search term) better networking (doesn't stall for a full minute when a mounted volume disappears). better DVD player (much, much better!) spaces (although it doesn't work when you are using keynote :-( and of course all the good programmers support underneath.

I'd certainly appreciate a brighter Spotlight, though what I'd really like is some preference say on what it displays. Having to click twice to get a filepath really ... hmmmm. And does it support bad programmers? Anyway, I can always go back a cat if the spots annoy me.

Having to click twice to get a filepath really ... hmmmm. Ah, spotlight doesn't hold a candle to your joke prowess. You are a beacon of mirthy delights. > And does it support bad programmers? Anyway, I can always go back a > cat if the spots annoy me. No, I just meant that each copy of Leopard comes with an Apple themed developer's jockstrap - for that much needed support underneath.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Dale And there I was, just about to try ... when an inspired question about Classic ocurred to me. Splat. It looks like Tiger will be the summit of my Feline Evolution, as I can't do without my OED2. Apple are obsessed with peeling away the past, and I cannot face a future without my cherished dictionary. End of story. So I shall have to pass on the benefits of that jockstrap, and - frankly - the emphasis of my development has been elsewhere. Good hunting with the Leopard, Dale Emma > better DVD player (much, much better!) Can you take a screen snapshot while it's playing? I find it annoying to have to open a DVD in VLC Player or one of several other programs if I want to take a snap of the screen. Surely they've twigged now to the fact that there's not much point blocking screenshots - just creating a nuisance and the likelihood that people will use something else to view their movies.

After I took the tour of new features in Leopard I came to the conclusion that Leopard is the Vista of Macs and thus not worth bothering with. >Emma Barry ===== Home page http://members.iinet.net.au/~barry.og I do not represent atheists or atheism Fo a good review of Leopard, check here: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars >> Hi y'all >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > http://members.iinet.net.au/~barry.og > I do not represent atheists or atheism Signature-- This space intentionally left blank |
