Really??? That's ridiculous.
I just buy 3 or 4 copies, frame them, and put them up in my living room, den, at work, and in my car.
Neat tip for your family, if you have one of those flat CD players with glass in front where you get to watch the CD spin, if you put the Leopard install disk in it plays 2001: A Space Odyssey and the galaxy on the disc becomes 3D.
Same, it was fine on the 12" PB, but then when I got the early 2008 15" MBP, 10.5.2 caused all sorts of grief, along with the heavily counterproductive "Leopard Graphics Update" that made office:mac apps crash the entire system when resizing a window, and made WoW crash things regularly as well - that seems to have started happening again, and the graphics mess up a lot on SL ... so we'll see.
I for one can't wait to see the end of the horrible 'galaxy' wallpaper on start-up.
Just can't stand it.

Saying it once doesnt count as "throwing everywhere." You are really going to have to try harder, right now your attacks are just miserable failures that i almost feel bad about.
Then change it.
And that background will likely be there for the final version of SL.
Your cpu wont get the benefits of 64bit support, but you will still probably notice quite a speed bump due to the slimming down and optimizing of many core apps.
Its not like you have to upgrade on day 1, you can wait it out a few months and see what other Core Duo iMac users say about the upgrade.
I think that model is the same as my Mac Mini 1,1 (Intel Core Duo 1.66 Ghz).
It's a 32 bit processor, so no.
I'm buying SL Family pack anyways, so I will bump the mini too.
EDIT: beat by NoSmokingBandit! Where does the time fly?
Thats the most retarded looking install cd Apple has ever made.

Noticing a trend here?
All of them are round?

You are 37 posts late to that joke, but appreciated none the less.
You know I just realized that he said Core Duo and not Core 2 Duo and now I feel like a total tool...thanks for correcting me.
Glad I could bring some mirth to your otherwise inane and dull day. Peace.
Oh ok, Thanks yea Im guy by the way. I have to install more memory any ways if im gonna buy SL so I might wait or not at all. Because I think you need at lest 1 GB of memory it says to have SL, and I just went with the standard when I first got my iMac. I need a new Mac anyways I feel left out in some way.
Sorry about the misinformation I sent you...my mind just sort of filled in the 2 when I read Core Duo and I thought it said Core 2 Duo.
thats okay, I can understand how you can get confused with the two
thanks again for the help and everyone else that helped also
You two are like the year nines fighting over who gets to get the last whiteboard marker. Its so cute.
No seriously, YOU WERE PROVED WRONG. Be a good sport and admit defeat.

Proved wrong? How this is possible if it's a matter of taste? How DVD print can look retarded if it just looks the way they felt it should look at that time? If someone doesn't like how it looks then one should say so. Clearly it doesn't look retarded it just looks different. It's a big question who is nine by the way
Looks like Apple removed a lot of the wallpapers from the last build. All the ugly ones like "Graffiti" and "Camo". Oh they sent shivers down my spine. :|
I Think during today we will start seeing leaked screenshots , if this indeed is GM , As for the UI , i hope they have sorted it out ( color wise ) i don't know about you lot but i did like the kind of Charcoal color of the menu's from the Dock ... , Even if it was abit of a Rip of the Early MS Longhorn Builds ( 4074 ) etc ..

Did you run it at home for personal use or in a business setting connected to a network as part of a domain? If you did the latter, you saw firsthand what a shambles 10.5.0 was. I was deeply disappointed to see so much that worked perfectly in Tiger fall apart in Leopard. The Active Directory integration was broken beyond belief and didn't get fully addressed until about 10.5.5. Users couldn't change their network account password. Binding to domains was a crapshoot. Weird bugs surfaced where you couldn't change the login items without going into the spinning ball of death. It was horrible.
64Bit??
Just installed this "GM" and even my brand new 13" MacBook Pro doesn't run with the 64Bit kernel and extensions.
Looking in system profiler their are only 3 extensions not made for 64Bit and all of them are made by Apple.
Surly this cant be the final code if even the new Macs cant run in 64Bit?
