Fresh from the airport, kuya Rheo fetch me at the amigoas icafe to kick what he had in his bag. I know what it is already, the Mac OSX Leopard installer. I was very happy to see the package. A very nice package, compare to the MS Windows Vista. Clean and black. I think i like it because its black! i really like black things so much. What really amaze me with the package is the hologram effect of the front. With the Big "X" and something like the milky way galaxy holographic image. lols :)

Comes inside the package are the installer CD, the delivery receipt, a Mac logo sticker, and the Installer Manual.

Put the CD to the tray and I started for the Leopard adventure.



I didn't tried installing in my MacBook yet, but I installed first it to my kuya rheo, because, he as well was very excited seeing the amazing Leopard. :)



So we did upgrade his macbook for almost an hour. And in between we have some talks about his trip and had some dinner too. :)

The installation went so smooth. It's my first time to see how Mac installs OS softwares. So different compare to my former religion, the windows. In MS Vista, you have to click next many times. With Leopard, it took only 6 Clicks. First, when you insert the CD, then autorun, you Click the "Upgrade to Leopard". Then you click the "Restart" button. When restarting, it will restart through the CD. It will asked on what language you prefer to use, then click next. Then it goes through asking if you Agree or Disagree, then where to install and there it goes straight installing up to the end that when you come back, you are now with Leopard interface with the same setup with the former OS X Tiger. The same programs in the Dock, the Parallel works fine and the preferences and the wallpapers stays. What you want to do next?

So I started installing again, now into my Mac Book. After the welcome animation and after everything, I checked first my important program.
