5 Small Things I Like About Leopard (Mac OS 10.5)

  1. Boots up so fast, there's no "Welcome To Macintosh" screen.
  2. Dock items are spring-loaded (hold an item over a Dock folder, and it pops open)
  3. Full-sized previews of my Word and Excel documents without having to open them.
  4. Animated icons in iChat (finally!)
  5. New text-to-speech voice Alex actually 'breathes' while reading, sounding more natural.

5 Things I Am Good At

  1. I make a pretty mean tomato sauce.
  2. I can hit most of the high notes when singing along with the radio in the car.
  3. I can play a Bb or a C tuba.
  4. I understand enough Spanish to get by.
  5. I make mashed potatoes by hand, with a whisk.
