... when Leopard will be released?

I'm getting kinda tired of looking at all the iPod and iPhone ads.

Not to mention, this computer is long overdue for a fresh reinstall... ;)

Some time this month is all I know. I have only had to reinstall software on one system and that was because of crossed linkage. On the other hand, a good Defragment works wonders every once in a while.

Thanks!

As far as reinstalling goes, I like to do it every year, and Apple used to make it easy with their yearly distributions... I decided to skip Tiger until I got my new Intel machine only to find that the included Intel version didn't work on the PPC... Then Leopard was announced so I decided to wait on it, and I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting... This puter has been up and running since Panther came out, need I say more... Other than, OSX rocks... ;)

... and an 800 MHz G4 'might' be the cutoff.

I guess Leopard will go on the laptop, and this tired old G3 will go back to Linux... ;)

October 26th it is... The countdown has begun... ;)

(While my G3 doesn't meet the 'minimum requirements', there are no hardware restrictions either. Woohoo!)
