It would be cruel of Apple to promise an OS built for speed and 
stability, after the stumbles and missteps of Leopard, and not allow the 
PPC crowd--probably the vast majority--to attend the party.

Suggest fellow PPCers to tell Apple so at apple.com/feedback/

Yes, I know somebody is going to reply and tell me they think Leopard is 
fantastic. Well, I am using it, and I'm not impressed. But if you think 
its wonderful. that's fine.

I just wish Apple had released an OS built for speed and stability 
instead of Leopard, rather than following Leopard.
