300 Tiny Little Things In Leopard

Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 2:41pm
Apple, OS X, Evolution, iPhoto, Print Products, Mail, NewsFire, Thunderbird, iCal, Time Machine

Apple's next version of it's OS X operating system, Leopard, has 300 features, many of which I couldn't be bothered with. The most interesting is that Mail will have a built in RSS reader. I'd use that if I didn't already shell out $25 for NewsFire. Stationary? Nah, I try to send plain text emails. Forward as attachment? I was wondering when this would show up, Thunderbird and Evolution both already do it. To-do's? Aren't those already there, just in iCal? What other useless features are there:

It seems the overwhelming majority of this list is fluff. I could get it for $107 (corporate discount) but I'd be hard-pressed to justify buying it at even half of that price. Time Machine looks interesting, but I manage my own backups just find, thanks.

Now if only I could get the photo books I want. Apple just isn't offering anything I want, let alone need.
