[Ti] Any spots on the Leopard ?

[Dr. Trevor J. Hutley]

I was surprised to find that the arrival of OS X 10.5 "Leopard" has  
not even added one post to the List, since 1 October (according to my  
records) !

Ten days ago, I ordered Leopard from Amazon (UK), and it arrived  
Monday 29 October.

It installed with no issues, very simply, very easily, on my 4+ year  
old Aluminium G4 Powerbook.

These are my observations so far:

- it has used up a lot of my disk space !

- Applejack no longer works under Leopard, which is a great pity, as  
this was my regular maintenance utility.  I hope this gets fixed very  
soon.
  I feel kind of lost without it....

- FruitMenu and Window Shade X do not work with Leopard.  These are  
part of the way I work, so this is disappointing

- Spaces does not seem as sophisticated as You Control Desktops, so I  
was quite disappointed.
   It does not seem that each Space can have it's own desktop picture.

- TimeMachine took a really long time to create the first backup.   
Each incremental backup seems huge.
   I still run Retrospect in parallel, until I feel that TimeMachine  
can do what I need.
   I could not see how to look for an unintentionally-deleted file by  
name, only by location.
   TimeMachine adapts easily to the situation where I have one backup  
at home, one at work.
   It does mean that I have to manually select the right disk at each  
location.
   I appreciate the simplicity of TimeMachine, but the downside is  
that it cannot be customised (the time interval/frequency of backup,  
for example, is not in my control)

- I feel that my Mac is running faster now

- every day I am discovering new features

I hope some others have some Leopard-on-my-laptop experience to share.
