While I have not been a Mac or OS X user for long (a little over two years now) I have only had my installing and tweaking experiences with Tiger. I do however know that installing OS X has been insanely easy. Leopard has been no exception. I would say install took about 25 minutes. There was no prompts beyond how do I wanna install in the beginning. I have some shots below. I would make these articles much longer but I am still playing with my new OS and can’t be bothered to spoil to much for all of you. Yes, that is my excuse.


I had a picture of the new Welcome intro video, but my iMac is so glossy that it kept getting my reflection in it and you could barely see the way the video looked. But just so you know, it was wonderfully cheesy and I enjoyed it just as much as I did the Panther and Tiger videos.

It’s Finally here! At 10:30 AM a nice lady from FedEx delivered a tiny box that contained our very own copy of Leopard. Naturally she had woken us up and getting back to sleep was not happening. So we started our day with Leopard sitting on my desk waiting for us to tear it opened. But before I go into all the gritty details and geeky unboxing shots I just wanted to say that today is my youngest sister’s birthday. Even though she has no idea this blog exists, I would just like to throw out a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Shane. She turns 21 today.

Now to the unboxing!

Sorry the pictures are a little dim, in order to get the shots not looking completely glarified I needed to turn off the flash. Part 2 should follow shortly.

Ok, for those who are going to be opening up their shiny new Leopard boxes today I have a link that should definitely be in your bookmarks. I remember when I got my first iMac and Tiger. This site was invaluable to me and it still provides many awesome tips. it’s amazing, but Leopard tips are already beginning to stack up. Even how to switch from the new 3D dock back to a 2D dock we are all so familiar with in Tiger. Anywho, it is very late and I am just getting ready to settle down and watch Ratatouille before bed. So be sure to check out MacOSXHints.com and fine a whole new way to use your Mac.
