It was a Macworld demonstration by Steve jobs of the Leopard OS X that did it. The giant leap that was Leopard made me long for a WIN-to-Mac conversion.

Does this exist? A cooling cabinet for Avocado ripening and tomatos. Would like one. 
Recently I have been stumbling across debates on OpenMeta's future. The notion seems to be, that when Lion becomes Mountain Lion, Apple's new Appstore policies will choke the tagging hack, that so many geeks have come to use. Continue Reading...
