I have a question: I have SL on order, but if I DL and install 10A432, I should be able to update it when 10.6.1 comes out, right?

Wins :D

meh, why are we posting Speedtest results now ? :confused:
The more images we post, the less speculation posts about 10A432 still not being the GM.
 
Well, it still just seems like a possible bag of hurt for those now rushing to torrent the thing just to get it early. Can't the build number be manipulated? And couldn't someone have embedded it with a virus or something like that iwork or ilife thing a while back? I dunno.

"Could' it happen, yes. However what a lot of these torrent bashers don't realize is that there is a lot more to torrents than PirateBay or other public sites. There are plenty of private trackers that foster a sense of community and fast speeds.
 
Go ahead and install it. The family tree doesn't change (additions and deletions) too often! :D

One would think it wouldn't but in my case it's changing all the time however, most likely I'll just wait to make the updates to Reunion in a week or two.

BTW, the reason it's changing is that my grandfather did a bunch of genealogy work in the 1970's and 1980's. He passed away in 2003 and my mother was the executor of the estate. Last year she handed over all these yellowing pages and said, "Maybe you can find a program and put this information in there so it isn't lost." So off I went realizing along the way that most of the information I had was 25+ years old. In that much time tons of people have died, married, had children, divorced, etc. So, in the last year I've used Facebook to track down long lost relatives and in the process I'm regularly getting information on many changes I need to make. At this point I've identified more than 1,500+ relatives and the list is growing all the time ;)
 
No special effects on the box?

The DVD is in a clear plastic sleeve?

This has to be a joke from Apple, what slapdash and cheap packaging. :mad:

Huh? Have you ever looked at your leopard box after installing it a few years ago? I sure didn't. Couldn't care less what the box look likes.

It's what's inside the box that is important. It's a cliché but still rules. Beauty is on the inside!
 
That Snow Leopard Should Sue For Talent Money

O.K I may be the only one to say this. But the package looks sweet! I really enjoy the design process. Sad I know :D
I agree. Best packaging yet - especially that beautiful photograph of that beautiful cat. Wow he is so handsome. Little does he know how world famous he is now. I'd love to know who took the picture and where-when. Snow Leopards are among the most elusive of all animals and rarely encounter human beings.

My box will be delivered Friday. Can you imagine the logistics Apple is doing to make all those deliveries happen Friday? They have got one world class logistics team to pull this off. I'll bet there are over a million deliveries all over the world Friday. Sure would love to be inside Apple to see how they do it. :cool:

Oh wow... well, go out and buy a backup drive, clone your internal hard drive to the backup with SuperDuper. Then, upgrade your computers OS to Snow Leopard and have fun. When you need to work in Reunion, boot from your external drive into Leopard and use it. (Trying to help you have an enjoyable weekend!)
 
I bet that most of the people that torrented Snow Leopard are glad that the shipping version is version is the same. This means that they won't have to buy it on Friday. :D
 
Snow Leopard will be so good for me, since my computer is already sooo slow.

I wonder what 10.7 will be like. Snow Leopard Lays out the groundwork for amazing features to come! We might even see the mythical mystical System XI.

This is the 2nd version of OS X to have packaging that has anything to to with the animal. (Mac OS Jaguar)
 
My two disappoints are related to 64 bit kernel, OpenCL along with Quicktime X h.264 hardware acceleration. First of all, my 24" Aluminium iMac Model 7.1 (Late 2007) doesn't run 64 bit kernel at all. All the processes are running in 64 bit apart from the kernel. And holding down 6 and 4 doesn't load up 64 bit kernel either.

And my iMac has ATI Radeon 2600HD, clearly there is no mention of any kind of support for OpenCL along with Quicktime X h.264 hardware acceleration. With these two things, I do feel a bit left out on the Snow Leopard party on my top of the range iMac which I bought about a year and 9 months ago.

At the same time, my MacBook Pro Model 4.1 (Early 2008) 2.4 which loads 64 bit kernel just fine as it should, which I bought four months later. Although I have nVidia Geforce 8600M GT, which loses out on the hardware acceleration for h.264, although has support for OpenCL.

All I gotta say is that my 15" MBP 5,1 with 9400M and 9600M GT that I got in April and my MP (Early 2008) 2.66 8-Core with nVidia 8800GT better qualify or I'm going to be mad, mad, mad :mad:

Wouldn't they just pirate it on Friday instead? (If the build had been different)

I don't get it... if you're gonna buy it, you'll buy it (and might download to play early), if you're gonna pirate, you'll pirate it no matter what.
