NOTE FROM KIM:
Apple and their Leopard OS are getting blasted by
critics and IT people for what many feel is a step
backward. Some are even making more favorable comments
about Vista than Leopard, which is quite the reversal.


The Top 9 Features
of Apple’s Leopard OS


9> Easily access your files from anywhere. *Very* easily.

8> Has the ability to boot to Windows Vista for better security.

7> Russian hackers’ web site announces, “We switched!”

6> If you read the software license carefully you’ll find you’ve agreed to name your firstborn “iBaby.”

5> What features? Apple blew their budget on the iPhone.

4> All files are conveniently stored in the Trash Can.

3> User-friendly drag-and-drop interface means script kiddies no longer need to use a script to hack into your system.

2> It downloads security patches directly from iTunes, for $0.99 per bug.

and the Number 1 Feature of Apple’s Leopard OS…

1> If you scrape off the paint and remove the cheap logo, it looks a lot like a free copy of Linux.
