Posted 11/08/2007 at 1:07:08pm | by Mac|Life Staff

iPhone UK Queue: Mac|Life sister site, Tech.co.uk, caught these two guys lined up (or queued as our British friends say) for the iPhone yesterday morning outside the London flagship store. We'll be checking in with our friends at MacFormat for the latest release day excitement.

Leopard Attacks Keyboard

...and anything else it can get it hands on.

I bought the first generation MacBook Pro in 2006. Yes, I bought the first release of 10.5, too, knowing there would be bugs. I didn't realize it would eat up my MacBook Pro AND all my free time. This release was not ready by a long shot. It would have been better if Apple had delayed it further rather than frustrate and anger their customers. Like many, I must return to Tiger.

MBP & Leopard
Submitted by dano (not verified) on Thu, 2007-11-08 13:49

Bummer. I too have one of the original MBP's and just put a clean install of Leopard on it. It's my travel computer, and all my important data is stored on a shared network drive, so I could afford to just erase and install. I'm curious - is there a time lag between install and problems arising? I haven't seen any problems with my keyboard yet (granted, it's only been a few hours, but I would imagine that if a key wasn't going to work, I'd have known it by now...)

Leopard Owes???

Running GREAT on a old ibook G4 with only 512 of ram.
NOTHING WRONG!
The only problems that I have heard on a personal lever was stupid people that wouldn't shell out the cash and get a legal version and it being buggy. (Serves you right) At least pay for the OS! Especially one as good as this.
And for those of you who didn't think 1.0 would be buggy now you know to wait for 1.1. All you have to do is be a customer of anything to know that 1.0 of everything is buggy.
Anyways loving apple and really loving LEOPARD!
