“I'm like a lion - I roar. If someone betrays me, I won't be a victim. I don't sulk, I get angry. I go immediately into retaliation.
But it always comes from insecurity or pain.”
                                                                                -- Lisa Marie Presley

“I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the one or the other.”
                                                                                -- Napoleon Bonaparte

“The lion and the calf will lay down together, but the calf won't get much sleep.”
                                                                                -- Woody Allen

Would they have thrown me out for rolling  in the aisles during  Steve's presentation?  This is what the whole Apple experience comes down to?  It's almost like a shill game on a late night infomercial!

I suppose/hope the game-changing features/capabilities were not announced, much in keeping with His Steveness' secretive tradition.

All I saw were four new features:
1. Application store
2. Mission control
3. Full screen
4. Launch pad

Alas, I sigh...

“It is a tale … full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.” This quote from Macbeth.

Unless Lion has some truly significant improvements I'll wait a while.  I do not know about others but I have found Snow Leopard (10.6.4) rock solid.

Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant!

Other than some "teachable" problems attaching to our Linux servers I saw nothing wrong with 10.5 either!  smile.gif   Sounds like the promised "concentration" on the MAC OS machines over "other" platforms just means turning everything into an iPAD/iPhone.
