Mac OS X Leopard: Gorgeous innovation

OK, as I type this, I'm closely monitoring the 5 minutes that's left of the countdown at Apple's homepage. Yes, it's shipping today with the new shipment of Mac models (don't buy one now. There's a problem with the video cards of current model shipments...) and has been received well by advanced reviewers (C|Net gave it an Excellent 8.0). Then again, who wouldn't? If you hated backup programs and their bland interfaces, Time Machine gives you a sexy backup utility that doesn't look like backup at first glance but more like a Star Wars game. If you open many programs but have a small screen, then going wrong with Spaces is next to impossible. Are you a future writer? Find synonyms easily with the Dictionary/Thesaurus and Offline Wikipedia rolled into one. Love the regularly updated Featured bar in the Yahoo! home page? Make it a widget without typing any code with WebClip. These, with more than new 300 features, make Leopard a done deal, especially at $129-200 with only one license on the former and 5 licenses on the latter.

****One minute to go****
Feeling more amped up this time, I just went through all those guide videos to remind myself how cool this is. I don't know why I'm so obsessed about this particular software, but one thing's for sure- Sa Greenhils ko na 'yan bibilhin.

****10 seconds****
I join the countdown of many an Apple fanboy and the picture we've been waiting for will finally appear in 3.

Oh what a way for tech geeks to celebrate the sem break! Now I'm truly hyped. Kevin, out.
