Snow Leopard
I picked up my copy of Snow Leopard today. So far so good. I did a full reinstall of my Mac Mini, because I had absolutely no space left (not quite sure why). So far it’s been quite fast, I’m getting the bare essentials reinstalled so I’m not quite up to speed yet.
Looking forward to ChromeOS (needs a new name)
I find that I am increasingly interested in seeing google chrome and google chrome os get developed and advanced. Since about 1999 I’ve dreamed of a world where I can use linux without feeling like I’m having to comprimise in some fashion. I’m hoping that ChromeOS will be the step that makes developers start selling software and services for linux (games are at the top of my list, but there is plenty of other stuff that would be nice). Apple just released Snow Leopard and that is making me drool. My mini won’t see a ton of benefit from Snow Leopard, and Lisa’s desktop is a PowerPC so she can’t upgrade, for these reasons I have not picked up a copy yet.
Me and Lisa keep talking about getting new laptops in the next year. We both love the idea of walking into an Apple store and walking out with armfuls of bling. I would like to have a “primary system” that doesn’t run windows (at least primarily). Having OS X and/or ChromeOS on a powerful laptop gets me all giddy.
