I was joking about standing in line for Leopard today, but I think I’m going to hold off for a bit before upgrading my machines to the new Mac OS X. Any operating sytem is going to have a few bugs in the initial release, and I think I’ll let somebody else take the hit on finding them. It’s usually a good policy to wait until some updates have been done before going ahead with an install, just to see what goes wrong. Toss in some resource-hungry software like audio recording, and it could get even worse. Sometimes, it’s best to stick with what works until the benefits outweigh the risk.

I’m also waiting for a new hard drive for the laptop. Nothing is wrong per se with this one, but it’s getting a little crowded (about two-thirds full). Considering I’m going to have to Boot Camp my computer soon to help me write a new laptop book for Wiley, there’s a definite need for more space. I also need it to run at 7200 rpm for any music needs, and the 200 GB drives in that range are finally at a decent price.

Finally, the new IMN podcast is up. Enjoy.
