It all looks like pretty good stuff from Apple. I should have one of the new MacBook Pro 17" models with the high resolution displays arriving at the end of the week. Looks like I'll be buying Leopard for it in a few months.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sweet. Report back!
I'm seeing a lot of negative reactions to the keynote out there because there weren't new hardware gadgets, but I'm really excited about Leopard.

I know that folks like the hardware, but if you really stop and look at everything Leopard is doing, it's a pretty amazing piece of hardware. Besides, the only thing that really leaps to mind as needing an update currently is the Mac Mini.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And the iPod. It needs a 120 GB drive in a big way....

Yeah, I'm having a serious OSgasm. And I'll just pretend you meant "software" there.

Maybe the Leopard install DVD is covered in tiny nanobots that rewire your CPU....

I can live with tiny nanobots. Do they come with a Capt. Jack Harkness?

I need to install a bigger HD on my MacBook. I was thinking I could upgrade to Leopard at the same time. But I don't want to wait until October.
Maybe when I install Leopard, I can use the time machine to push the installation back to now.

That's true. The iPod does need more room. My 80 GB is bursting at the seams. I did get in on a promotion with the new MacBook Pro, so I'll be adding a free iPod Nano to the collection, and when I buy my iPhone at the end of the month (Yes I'm planning on camping out) that will be yet another iPod.
I opted for the 250 GB hard drive option on the new laptop. I figure if I'm going to run Boot Camp I'll need all the extra space I can get. I'm actually thinking that if it works out well I may be actually giving up my desktop Mac and going completely laptop based.

Did you spring for the 4 gig of RAM?
