I am browsing FR on my brand new Macbook! My family really, really, loves me!

Have you discovered you can resize the reply text input screens in Safari? That makes editing your replies much easier.

If you haven't done so already, download Flip4Mac 2.2 and install it... it will play all Windows Media Files in Quicktime except those infected with DRM.

Uh, that’s probably no longer operative, right?

Nope, still in use... remember Boot Camp?

Did you install Drive In? If so, what do you think?

Just upgraded my Mac Pro from 4.11 to 10.5.1

Smooth; took less than an hour.

Oh, okay. I didn’t know Boot Camp also handled the old Classic OS/PPC stuff. Neat.

I also upgraded my 17" 1 Ghz Powerbook.

All went smoothly.

Took longer to update spotlight than the install of 10.5.1

CUPS works better and smarter.

Leopard is faster than Tiger
