[There is already an OS X item; why not use that?]

OS X is derived from unix and hence inherits a lot of the unix gayisms. You
can beautify the crap all you won't, it won't change the fact that at the
core, it is still shit.

I'm still running MacOS X 10.4 'Tiger' (on a borrowed
iBook G3). Mostly I seem to use it as an X terminal, though
I do run Camino locally. Anything of interest in 'Leopard'?

I'm using OS 10.4.11 on a MacBook Pro. The 10.5 install disk came with it,
but I have not installed it: I fear a lot of apps I now use will not run on
it, and I also read about bugs in 10.5.
(I wish people didn't call OSs by names of animals: there are no similarities
between the name and the OS.)

Tiger comes with several advances; one of the big ones (for me, anyway) is
Timemachine. I really like automated backups.

That's a 10.5 app.
