I think 10.4 was a big improvement over 10.3. From what I've read so
far, and I've looked in to it quite a bit, there are no features of 10.5
that would motivate me to get it. There are some neat new features and
some worthwhile improvements to the standard Apple programs that would
be useful, but I'm happy and comfortable doing things in ways that are
becoming old fashioned, like putting things where they belong rather
than having to do searches to look for them. I don't go for eye candy
like the transparent Dock. That's just silly. I guess I'm getting old,
because some of what is new in 10.5 strikes me as excessive visual
stimulation for people with a shorter attention span that mine.
I do backups by hand also, and I don't like the files to be in a special
format or readable by some special program. I did start using Carbon
Copy Cloner recently and I like that a lot. Thank you Tom.

denotes it as major for those mac users on the list thinking of getting it?
