The
Leopard is Loose
Are
you a Mac user? If so, I'm sure you've heard many different stories
about the brand new operating system, called the Leopard,
right? You have probably heard varying views and maybe even some different
release dates for it, but after you finish reading this tip, you will
know exactly what's going on. If you recall, I mentioned a few things
about the Leopard in last Friday's newsletter and after doing that,
I wanted to be extra sure that we were all on the same page with this
new product. So, let's get to it, shall we? Keep reading for the full
scoop!
First
of all, I can now say without any reservations that the Mac
OS X Leopard (version 10.5) was released on October 26, 2007.
(In case you don't have a calendar handy, that was just this past Friday!)
The Leopard was let loose around 6 p.m. and it is retailing for approximately
$129. Originally, there was word about this being released six months
ago, so this really has been a long time coming. I can also bet that
it has been pretty difficult for some of you avid Mac users to wait
that long, am I right? Well, you don't have to wait any longer. You
can now purchase your copy of the Leopard at any Apple retail store
or from any Apple authorized reseller.
Like
I said, this new operating system is going for the likes of $129, so
you may be wondering if it's really worth that kind of price. Well,
try all of this on for size. The Leopard comes with over 300 new features,
including a brand new desktop with Stacks, a much easier way to access
your files from the Dock, a revamped Finder function, as well as, never
before seen features that go by the names of Quick Look, Spaces and
Time Machine. And that's just the beginning! You can read even more
about the new features here
if you're interested. I'm telling you, Apple really has thought of everything
with this one. So, if you haven't gotten your copy yet, I'd suggest
getting it as soon as you're able. It's sure to take your Mac experience
to the next level!
