Snow Leopard Day

· 🌡️ 65°F


We were at the mall shopping for @terry's birthday shoes when I
remembered it was snow leopard day. I checked my amazon account and
saw it was not shipping for another week so I canceled the order on my
phone and checked out at the apple store. Thanks amazon for making
that so convenient! The nice part about the apple store is that they
email you receipt and you don't even need a bag. That's pretty
green. Even better would be if you could just install online.

The totally got rid of everything but hardware at the apple store.
Not sure if it's for snow leopard or back to school sales.

    That's what the SLC apple store looks like now, too.

    I have a very weird problem with Snow Leopard. I got Mail, iCal and Address Book to work with Exchange. However if I VPN in that does not work anymore. Entourage also does not work over VPN. I have tried another external connection, different VPN clients (Cisco IP Sec, Cisco SSL and Citrix)....nothing seems to work.

    I don't get it.
    What I mean is why pay for this? Shouldn't it be a free upgrade? It's not like it changes the OS in any significant way..

    Speed is a feature. My favorite feature.

    I installed it on a separate partition just in case.

    I've been using it for about 6 weeks now, and definitely wouldn't want to go back. No problems so far, easiest OS upgrade ever.

    Between Snow Leopard and an SSD, my computer restarts in about 15 seconds.

    tiburon- I think they didn't add a lot of new 'features'- but my understanding is that it's been totally re-written 'under the hood'. And they know people don't want to pay for that, which is why it's $29 instead of the usual $129. I'm with Jim... speed and stability are worth $29.

    Oh and mine actually DID arrive yesterday- but the office was closed so I didn't pick it up til this am. Off to install now.
