I keep reading reviews about how great OSX 10.5 is, and how much I should praise Steve that I have such an OS. Like in my pre-release review, I’m still less that excited. Here’s a list of 7 things that frustrate me about Leopard:
Can I Really Buy Ambien Online 1) https://www.nhgazette.com/2025/02/01/z5jms1nbzz Time machine, it all it’s awesome splendor, is pointless for me. Sure, I could repartition my drive, and make a spot to mirror to — but would it really have been that hard to allow me to just point to a folder? Come on, it doesn’t do anything magical to the second drive (or partition), so why make me reserve a crapload of space? And don’t get me started on the inability to use my Airport-friggen-Extreme hard drive for Time Machine. Guess why I bought that overpriced access point? Yep, the upcoming “amazing” program. Ugh.
https://electroseleccio.cat/8e73qfi 2) Mail got all crazy, what with it’s ToDo, Notes, etc. I’ve read that it’s so much faster now, but I haven’t noticed ANY speed increase on my IMAP connection. The one redeeming quality is that I can actually have it permanently accept my self-signed SSL certificate — I was never able to figure that one out in Tiger. But still, I’m not impressed with the redesign, and since I despise HTML mail anyway, Mail seems to be ALL fluff.
3) While I understand the need to ask about opening a new application, that “first run” acceptance window just stinks of Vista. Again, I know it’s a feature, but it just makes me throw up a little in my mouth every time I install a new app.
4) Clonazepam 1Mg For Sale iCal doesn’t sync with my 10.4 machines. I haven’t actually tested this with the retail version, because it borked up my calendars so bad with the pre-release. Does it have to be so tied to the OS that a simple https://adamkaygroup.com/uncategorized/axnkyg38dm application update couldn’t bring them up to speed?
5) iSync in general is a bit odd. Do I really need my Dock to sync? What if I have different applications? What if I use some things at work, but don’t want to even see the icon at home? It just seems like a weird feature to me, but since this is https://www.suitupmaine.org/2lyh2415 my review, that’s what matters. 🙂
6) https://regenamex.com/upe94n5id3 Spaces is a feature that I’ve always liked about Linux. I don’t use it very often, but I like that the idea has finally made it to OSX. It’s not easy to figure out how to move applications to other spaces, but it is possible, so I won’t complain too much. It just doesn’t seem as easy as with Gnome or KDE.
7) Here’s the real deal: I don’t see any reason at all to upgrade. I know, that’s harsh, but really — apart from a few more translucent menus and such, Leopard has been a really expensive upgrade that amounts to a new, “theme.” WTF? Why are all the reviewers so amazed and so happy?
A friend of mine upgraded this weekend (I’m on a MBP as well) and allowed me to post his summary on my much-less-frequently updated techblog at http://ungeekit.com.
I had such a PITA experience w/ my Parallels upgrade I’m holding off on the OS for a while – I’d like a month or two without tech stresses.
I didn’t even try upgrading to 3 from 2.5. I just did a fresh install of 3.0, and installed XP, etc. Now I’m glad I did it that way. 🙂
I have noticed that Parallels doesn’t show the windows icon on the dock for running windows programs in Leopard. There is a “blank” icon with the tiny parallels symbol. It’s really annoying, because I like to have Internet Exploder on the dock for those sites that require it, but now I can’t tell what app is in the dock.
Coherence mode rocks though. I love it much.
I wasn’t planning to upgrade anyway, but thanks for sharing. 😉 My general strategy is to pick a spot and stay there until I absolutely have to change because nothing is working anymore. It’s why I jumped from OS 9.1 to OSX.4 in the first place (although in theory if I’d wanted to spend the money, I could’ve gotten the old 8500 to run OSX). Now I’m hoping to get another good ten years out of what I’m using now before I have to move again.
Count me lucky, or unlucky, but since my job is to manage a ton of OSX machines, I end up with the lastest and greatest so that I know what the heck I”m doing when it’s time to implement.
I still don’t love leopard…
Just one more somewhat unrelated note… a bit late. 🙂
Have you ever tried Scrivener? It’s a Mac-only writing & organizational tool – I have been playing with it for a few weeks and think I’ll write my Nanowrimo book in it. It has some great features for organizing research and notecarding/organizing your book in scenes – then exporting & printing as a whole. (For when you submit to a publisher, of course. 😉 )

I tried scrivener, and I’m not sure what I think about it. It’s one of those things that is “so cool” it distracts me from actually writing. 🙂
I tried to set up a book, using the novel template, and an hour later I realized I had rearranged chapters, etc — but never written a single word. 🙂
I’m trying to set up a “writing place” in my bedroom, that is strictly for writing. It’ll probably have Ubuntu on it, and I plan to use Abiword for the word processor. Hopefully I don’t change my mind 100 times and waste valuable November hours. 🙂
Boy I seem to like smilies, eh?
If you’re more for the Dive Right In approach, I recommend Jer’s Novel Writer. That’s what I’ll be using. 🙂
