I backup weekly, using a custom bash script that consists mainly of  
tar and rsync to a mounted volume on another computer.  Currently  
backing up 15 GB.

Leopard looks good to me, I like that Spotlight will now have an  
application launcher.
Also like the idea of virtual desktops (Spaces).  An old Linux trick,  
eh?

I haven't researched the hardware requirements, reckon it will be ok  
on my PowerMac G5 1.8GHz PPC w/ 1 GB ram?

My main concern is what will it cost?
Anyone care to hazard a guess....Janice?
