Leopard goes back to the future 1, 2 and 3
Received Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard today.
Actually I shot my wad prematurely on what was a dry run if you will. Um, I mean I got all impatient watching that count down timer on Apples site and ended up downloading it on Wednesday.
I did an erase install ‘cos I had all sorts of crap cloging my HD up and its nice to have a clean system now and then.
It’s taken till today (Friday) to get all my software and stuff back on here so in the end I’m only now getting the Leopard experience, on launch day so getting it early was fair enough in my book.
Still not sure what to think of it, it seems pretty fast, and it’s very refined. But I can’t help feeling a little underwhelmed by the new features.
And I’m having a hell of a time with Time Machine. The backups keep stalling part way through, still haven’t managed to do the initial run.
The box is awesome, it has a sort of hologram effect that’s really crazy. Probably been starring at it for hours. Simple things entertain me.
Update: After stalling again but letting it carry on the rest of the evening Time Machines first backup kicked off again and managed to complete. Woo.
