Re: Wingy's computer broken! - Wingy - 10-25-2007
Anyways... with leopard coming out and I'm getting a new computer, life is being a bit nicer to me nowadays... too bad my old computer died.
Did anyone take a look at the guided tour of Leopard at www.apple.com? There's a link to it on the big leopard countdown board.
All-in-all, my favorite new features gotta be the new scroll-from-dock folders, quicklook, that iChat thing that lets you share desktops and that the mail application will let me log in with my hotmail address! The most interesting feature yet, thought, is timemachine. Like really, buy a $180 120GB-500GB external harddrive to backup EVERY single file and never delete it off the external harddrive? I'd just go to a computer store and buy a 4GB portable USB thing and back-up my key files every night.
Also, with my new computer it seems that it will come with iLife '08! Then I can make a website with my movies, books and stuff to replace my old antsarts.surf.to website! Yay! Lolz, haven't touched that site sinch January, when all my computer troubles began.

Really, woo hoo for you. There is nothing better than getting a new computer - AND with Leopard - AND with iLife 08 which is so much better than the last one - AND with a much better (I would guess) game chip. You will be so happy - and only happier - if you had a lot of Apple stock!!!!! You have to love our company.

I'm most excited about the foundational improvements - i.e., the stuff that's not really demoable in a guided tour video (which I did watch). Core animation, for example, is going to make for some interesting UI advancements.
I'm also interested in Spaces - I may find they make me more productive; we'll see!
Friday's the day I place my order at the Apple Online Store (I want an upgraded HD, so I have to wait for them to ship the thing from China.
). I'm so excited! Let's jump for joy together! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
Re: Wingy's computer broken! - ryos - 10-26-2007
...ordered! Hooray! ;D
Got yours yet, Wingy? Mine won't be here till Wednesday at the earliest, and a week from Monday at the latest. :'(
Re: Wingy's computer broken! - Wingy - 10-26-2007
Hahahahahaha.... I've gotten mine already. Nice new icons for folders and system prefs! Do you want me to spoil any more?

Hey Wingy! :o :o :o :o :o :o
Look at your email on the dock: 634 or more? xD that really: OmG
Re: Wingy's computer broken! - aquaMat - 10-26-2007
Ooh Wingy.....
have you really got your new computer already with OS 10.5 installed (offocially released today!) ??
If so, I need to know:
Do you have any problems running software that was made for MacOSs earlier than 10.5 ?
(That's why I'm hesitating to update to 10.5 so early.... as I'm using my Mac professionally too (it's my studio computer) I fear that some of my music software (or other important software) that were made for - say - 10.2. etc. could have problems running on 10.5.)
Re: Wingy's computer broken! - ryos - 10-26-2007
iMac, eh? 17", from the looks of it. Did you get a refurb, or is that your Dad's?
Re: Wingy's computer broken! - Wingy - 10-26-2007
Me dad's. And the e-mail in the dock is my dads! He's a really busy guy.
This is an upgrade, just adding more software, Aquamat! All my 10.4 apps work better then ever!
And how we got leopard earlier then the public did, (screenshot took at 38 Mins before release) my brother joe is a programmer and does code. Apple sent him leopard early to him for all developers. I imagine Vern got it too, but I dunno.
But now LEOPARD IS OFFICIALLY OUT!!!
Re: Wingy's computer broken! - ryos - 10-26-2007
Some people who preordered got theirs last night. :o
AquaMat: If you have concerns about specific programs, you should ask in this forum. You'll probably get good answers.
