Slowly I turned, inch by inch…well, not literally. But with the first dot-1 update out to Apple’s new operating system, Leopard, and more updated programs available as well, I’m inching my household towards full upgrade-hood. As I mentioned the other day, my antiquated, first gen Mac mini was the first to get hit with Leopard since its role is to serve as little more than a test bed for updates and an emergency backup computer. That went fine though it took forever.
By this week, Adobe had issued an update to Lightroom making it fully compatible, VMWare’s virtual PC program Fusion was ready and HP had a beta driver for its all-in-one printers. So I decided to upgrade my 24″ iMac. I did an upgrade installation which took about 30 or 40 minutes and everything seems pretty peachy. I’m not a fan of the new dock but I’m getting used to it. The finder is slightly if noticeably snappier. And beyond that. hmm, not much has been all that different yet. I’ll have to set up the Time Machine backup feature and try the spaces virtual screens next. Stay tuned.
