I just found out that Snow Leopard isn't being released in September, as previously thought. It's going to be available this Friday. For $29.

      Very true, John.

      I can't help feeling that the close proximity of the release dates is no coincidence. The media are going to have a ball... :rolleyes:

    for sure not a coincidence the public has shown time and time again that the first one out of the gate has an advantage as long as they don't comprise the product to do so. oh wait thinking about it windows is the running exception to that rule.

        John, intentional or not, do you know how much your posts like this one magnifies the stereotypical elitist mac user?
