Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
tens of... dozens...
I don't remember seeing any of this game stuff in rumors I checked -- and it's great news.
want leopard now...
The new OS stuff doesn't interest me enough for me to consider buying the software--but does re-pique my interest in buying a new Mac. Just that now I know I'll wait.
I'd just lately talked myself down from buying a new machine until the OS update, so I'm looking at it as "it'll be worth the wait" -- same (possible) spending plans, different mindset.
Also, I'm just happy to see real (and new and shiny) mac os stuff in a keynote again rather than a new shuffle and an airport firmware upgrade, or somesuch.
(about damned time they got around to multiple desktops!)
Gizmodo totally has the best pics up of the sites I'm looking at.
It is perfectly sensible of me to delay any Mac Mini purchases until towards the end of the year. This will just make it easier to while away the time.
Also, harder.
Do you OS X-using Buffistas use the Dashboard? Mostly it's what comes up when I was diving for a different key on the keyboard. It's not worth switching environments for. The only practical use I have for it is sticky notes that I want around somewhere easy to get to but that I don't have to see unless I'm looking for them.

Agreed - gizmodo for the pics, macrumors for the quickest text updates.
I use the Dashboard for weather, weather radar, sunrise/sunset times, calculator, sunlit map of the world, clock, and resistor guide (you enter the band colors and it gives you the ohms).
I also had a gmail alert on my iBook - I should install that one too....
It's kinda' cool that all that stuff is available with a single key....
