How To Do Leopard
Let’s assume you are going to upgrade to Leopard sometime reasonably soon. What is the best way to go about it? There are three ways to upgrade to to a new OS version. Which one is most suitable for you?
The Rollout
For the first time ever I attended an Apple Store event. My wife and I attended the Leopard release on Friday. There are 4 different Apple retail stores in the Denver, Colorado area. We went to the one at the Park Meadows Mall. We got there about an hour before showtime and waited in line until they opened the doors.
Leopard
I just watched a short video on the Apple web site about the main new features in Apple’s new OS, Leopard. Let me tell you, you will want to get Leopard. It has some very cool features. Tiger was a good OS, but Leopard is a very nice improvement. With this in mind I wanted to share with you some upgrade options when you decide to go to Leopard.
iMovie ’08
I purchase iLife ’08 a few weeks ago and have been playing around with several of the programs. It took until just recently for me to try out the new iMovie. There are all kinds of reviews on line about iMovie, so I am not going to write a review per-se, but I would like to bring a few observations from time to time.
RapidWeaver
As you know I do a few web sites. I have used several programs over the years from PageMill to Dreamweaver. Here is my current web site lineup. I do several “serious” web sites for friends in Freeway Pro (my personal favorite), my woodworking blog with iWeb, this MacEssence blog with WordPress, I use Dreamweaver at work for several things and now I am doing my family blog in RapidWeaver.
iMac Followup
Today, while I was working on setting up a MacBook Pro, one of our Mac users came over to ask me a question. He spotted one of the iMacs and I invited him to sit down and take it for a test drive. He said he was thinking about getting one at home. He used it, looked it over for a few minutes and said he was definitely going to get one.
iMac Experiences
I am in the process of preparing several new Aluminum iMacs for deployment throughout my work. I have been through about 4 of them and I have several observations.
.Mac Domain Fix
Well I think I have figured out what I am going to do with my domain situation. Previously, I determined that I would have to continue to create the web site in iWeb, but load it up to another server via FTP. But, I came up with a compromise.
.Mac and Domains
I have been doing web sites and dealing with their setup for about 8 or 9 years now. But for the life of me I cannot get the new “domain” feature to work on my .Mac account. Here is how the domain feature is supposed to work.
