Leopard Coming Late

I purchased my new MacBook Pro about a week before the official release of Leopard. I filled out Apple's form to have the new OS shipped asap. I was very disappointed to find that it shipped on 10/26, and not received on 10/26. I didn't just buy the OS, I bought a brand new computer. It would seem that would get me some sort of priority shipping on Leopard. Anyway as disappointed as I am about that, I am still extremely happy with the computer. It is the first Mac I have owned since OS 7. I have installed BootCamp, and set up a partition for Vista, which I am not at all impressed with, but since I don't have to use it daily, I figured it wouldn't bother me that much. I am also impressed with how many applications have been ported over to Mac. I am down to just one "killer app" that I can't live without and that is Softerra's LDAP Browser. I have not found anything that even comes close to working as well as this one.

Mac

Well here I am about to eat crow. I have busted people's balls about buying Mac computers. They are too expensive for what they are. Well this week I not only got a MacBook Pro. But I am typing this on my iPhone. Let me just say that both are better than advertised. You really must experience them to truly appreciate them. Especially the iPhone. They keyboard is way easier than you would think.
