I just installed Mac OS X 10.5. WOOHOO!

This isn’t going to be a comprehensive review, that might come a bit later. These are just a few general observations after 5 minutes of using it.

  • Poking around in System Preferences, I notice that under Network, AppleTalk is still supported. AppleTalk hasn’t been use for ages. Still, this pleases me, as I may soon have to use it in order to connect a recent purchase of mine.
  • The new Dock isn’t as bad as people have made it out to be.
  • Stacks are FUCKING AWESOME.
  • I like the “grass blades” desktop a bit better than the new default starfield, although I’m waiting for a hacked starfield to include some sort of spaceship.
  • The intro movie’s “jump-to-lightspeed” thing should be used as an effect for switching desktops on Spaces.
  • Time Machine hasn’t been used yet. I’m afraid that when I touch it, a man in a police box will appear in my front lawn.
  • Someone really needs to figure out how to make the Time Machine logo into a TARDIS.
