Leopard and new Mac applications bumming me out
Let me preface this post with the fact that I have been a sworn Mac user since 1995 and let me add that a few weeks ago I tried to use Windows just for my trip to Japan and I bailed out after one painful day. I even had our IT guy kill a perfectly good Thinkpad with Ubuntu I hated Vista so much.
When Leopard came out a few weeks ago (it was a Friday) I went to the Apple store in SF to buy it immediately but got spiked until the 6pm grand reveal. So, the next day I went downtown first thing and picked up both Leopard and the new iLife. Easy enough.
I expected a few bumps in the upgrade of the OS and the applications and sure enough I did, but nothing major. It’s only after a few weeks of usage that I find myself experiencing both OS and application crashes reminiscent of the mid-90s when you had to obsessively save your work since you knew your Mac was going to crash at some point. I was bred into a “save early, save often” Mac culture at my first job in NYC where people would occasionally lose hours worth of work.
That was then, this is now. Or so I thought.
