Mike Benner: Leopard, Best of the Big Cats?

Leopard, Best of the Big Cats?

Dec 10 by Michael Benner

So, I finally got to install Leopard last night and let me tell you, as of this morning I think it is the neatest.

I had a few minor issues, such as

having to reconfigure my AT&T card, but all in all the improvements are awesome. I have already abused spaces. I have a code space, test space, communication space and a play space.

The new mail program is great and I moved all of my RSS over there from Safari. The subtly of the contact features in mail is great. Try hover over a phone number then click the down arrow and add the number to the contact with its email address and name coming from the message. Note and To-Do's seem better placed as well, now lets get them to sync with my iPhone.

Helping my in-laws with their new MacBook Pro is a snap as well. Just this morning I took control of my mother-in-laws desktop to fix some folders she deleted and items she removed from the dock...Oh yeah, using gmail accounts in iChat. That is another subtle but outstanding and welcome addition. They say there are 300 improvements. I can't imagine, the ones I have found so far are great, looking forward to discovering the rest.

So, I have to say Leopard is the best of the Big Cats.
