Do you really need it? I installed Leopard on my aging but otherwise faithful 12″ PowerBook G4 yesterday. I hadn’t planned on updating it because I didn’t think it had enough processing power to handle the new OS. But it met Mac OS X 10.5 requirements, so I figured, what the heck? I could Continue reading Leopard Tip: Delete the All Documents Search November 2nd, 2007
My 5th generation iPod turns up its nose at my new iMac; later they become friends.

An excerpt from Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: Visual QuickStart Guide. With Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Apple has finally phased out Mac OS 9.

I see the difference with a wireless Mighty Mouse. I’ve been using a dual G5 computer for about 4 years now. Just this week, I finally set up its replacement, a 24″ iMac.

Three Computers, Three Leopard Installs
I install Leopard on the last of my three Macs.
Today I did something I didn’t think I’d do: I installed Leopard on my 12″ PowerBook G4.
