Well, after visiting the apple store yesterday and picking up a copy of Sow Leopard, I figured that I should give it a try.
When we tried to install it, it asked which disk to put it on. We had an external drive that we wanted to put it on first, and it started the install. It got down to where it was about a quarter of the way done, and restarted the computer. It booted from the Install DVD, and asked to install Mac OSX. This all after it said that it was installing before. Anyway, We selected the external drive and it said that an install could be recovered. Okay.... So, we said install.
After waiting another 45 minutes, about the length of an episode of MacGyver which we were watching at the time, the installer was done. It started up in Snow Leopard, and we were set to go.
Well, not much is different about snow Leopard. Except that the OS is written in 64-bit code. So, it uses much less memory, and CPU. In fact, in Activity Monitor, it says "Intel (64-bit)". That's cool.
I'll write more about Snow Leopard as I go along.
All for now!
