Leopard is Out

Tonight Apple Computer released the latest version of Mac OS X, called Leopard. Mason and I went to the St. Louis Galleria to the Apple Store there, and waited in line with a few hundred other people until 18.00, when the nice Apple guys threw open the doors so we could buy the our own copies of the coolest OS on the planet.

Before they opened the place up, the Apple guys were toddling around the line taking pictures with their iPhones. They were pretty excited about the whole thing.

Mason and I got free t-shirts, having been among the first 500 people in the store. The funniest shirt they had showed the Windoze logo in some crosshairs, with the words "Hasta la Vista" above. Nice.

The Leopard installation onto my MacBook Pro actually did not go without a hitch; I had a bit of trouble initially. But I more or less magically got out of it, and all seems to be well.

I saw my friend Errol Sandler just before I got in the store. Errol is a former colleague from Ann Arbor, and it was great to see him.
