[Cube] Leopard Install

[Steven Southerden Dive]

I had no real problems either with 10.5. I have a PowerLogix dual 1.5  
GHz with VRM + nVidia GF2MX video card.

I did forget to make sure the Keychain update 1.0 was installed before  
the first manual restart after the upgrade and had to reset my  
password in single user mode but that was about it. According to  
Apple, this problem seems to affect anything that has passwords dating  
back to 10.3 or earlier so that could affect a good few Cube owners.  
Seems to run pretty smoothly, even so-called application enhancements.  
Now I just have to see if my scanner still works.
