Bugger,

I can't close Pages (trial expired, and I need it - I will be buying 07 once it comes out), so I can't update as I'll have to restart.

Any way around this?

Hmmm, I wonder if this is a sign that 10.5 is nearly ever so ready so they've released this?

It kinda happened with 10.3.9, with Tiger coming a month or two after. :)

I think we're going to see lots of updates to the Mac Product line after Leopard's release. The only update I can see happening is the 8-core Mac Pro after that little incident yesterday.

Hmm... to me this says that my post in the Leopard April release thread has some merit, and that Leopard is indeed due soon. :)
