If you are talking to someone in conversation, what would you say when you refer to OS X? I don't know why but I am just wondering...
 
I say Mac OS X, sometimes Leopard. Or just 'my Mac' since my friends use Windows. ><

I only talk about computers with one of my friends (he is a PC-user) but I have educated him on the topic so I use Leopard. :)
 
When to talking to non-mac savvy people, I say "Mac OS X" , but when when taking to people like you guys, I often just say "OS X" or refer to it's cat name.
 
None, I refer to it through the medium of dance...

I say "oh ess ten" or Leopard or Tiger, etc, if I am referring to one specifically.
 
By "OS X" I did mean "O-S Ten" and none of this other "Ex" stuff that has been going around.
