Aaarrgh, Mac OSX Leopard delayed

[AuroraProject]

I find the fact that Time Machine will only backup over a network to another Mac running Leopard to be disappointing.

Support for backing up to Airport Express network drives will come eventually. It was in all the Leopard betas, just removed for the released version, perhaps because there were still a handful of lingering issues. They probably thought it would be better to be safe than sorry. I imagine it'll be included again in the first minor update (10.5.1).

They can't support filesystems other than HFS (and probably ZFS in the future) because it requires multilinks. This is a similar reason why Vista's Volume Shadow Copy only works on NTFS; it needs filesystem support.

I'm excited, in spite of myself. Hasn't arrived yet. Looks like a weekend of frustration and elation.

I was going to pick Leo up this afternoon (6pm local time). But there were a long cue down the street at this particular Apple dealer, so I just walked by. I'll drop in early next week instead, when the "storm" have landed...

A buddy of mine who became a fanatical Mac convert a couple of years ago and who's been hounding me to switch from IBM ever since (which I finally did just yesterday evening) just phoned from the lineup at the local Apple store. He say's they're handing out water to the people who are lined up way down and around the mall. I have to admit that I've been really enjoying my new iMac so far, and because I bought it yesterday I'll get the upgrade whenever I want for a small fee, but I certainly don't feel the urge to face massive crowds and a huge lineup simply to get a new OS release on it's first day. If they were selling it at a drastically reduced price, perhaps, but other than that.....

I guess people fall more and more in love with Apple as time goes by.

My first post as a Leopard user! Received a nice little box on my back step this afternoon. I've been transferring settings and such to my clean install since. Probably could've just done an archive and install, but hey, I guess I'm still in the Windows mindset of reformatting every reinstall..

funny you post this, mike. because i am sitting outside an apple store in Gilbert, AZ and the apple guys just came around with bottles of water!

we're actually in the shade so it's nice. the great thing about this San Tan store is that it's a mall grand opening, a new apple store opening, and leopard debut all at once! freebies, baby!

btw, i will have your ram chips sent out tomorrow or monday. thanks!
