As everyone who has not been unconscious for the last few days knows, Mac OS X 10.5 aka Leopard will be available October 26th at 6pm. [Update: A 380MB 30 minute Guided Tour is now available]

I plan on getting a copy just about when it comes out at the Valley Fair Apple store in San Jose that evening. I'll probably have my camera there to record the insanity as well.

I have a new firewire drive on its way that is destined to replace a now too small drive that I use for daily SuperDuper back ups. That older drive will become free and available as a play pen for my new cat friend. I plan on getting familiar with the beast for quite a while before I am sure that everything I need will run OK.

I'm expecting new RAW processing abilities to appear, either with Leopard or shortly after, but don't expect to see another version of Aperture for a while.
