		<description>Quoter plugin? I have one problem with it, still, which is that it puts in the wrong attribution lines, so I&#039;ve disabled that feature.

I posted a message about the problem at the plugin author&#039;s site, but never got a response.

Peace,
Gene</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I&#039;ve already said I had a smooth upgrade (I did have APE Manager installed, but it was the latest version, the developer&#039;s blog explains that only old versions cause the installation problem). In general, my take is about the same as Gene&#039;s, although I&#039;m a little less enthusiastic about Spaces than he is. To be truthful, I once used a third-party virtual desktop app., but when Expose came along I found basicalliy didn&#039;t need it any more. I&#039;m curious to see how quickly Time Machine eats up disk space, and to determine if its backward &quot;reach&quot; is going to be enough to satisfy me. If not, I&#039;ll have to plunk down for a larger-capacity h. d. The one thing I hate is the new folder icons, especially because specially-designated ones (Applications, Documents, etc.) are very hard to identify in list view windows and even in the dock. The generic folder icon looks bad in full view, I&#039;ll replace it and some other generic Finder icons as soon as the new Candy Bar gets released. Other than that, everything is either much better or at least a change I can comfortably live with (such as the reflecting dock). But I think I was correct in my original anticipation -- the REAL improvement in Leopard is the behind-the-scenes stuff: Cocoa throughout, 64-bit throughout, more efficient multiprocessing, Core Animation, dumping some management tasks on the video processors, and so forth. So, particularly if you own a 4-core Mac Pro, the advertising claim that Leopard gives you &quot;a new Mac in your Mac&quot; is a reasonable description of the Leopard experience (I&#039;ll be curious to see the 8-core re-reviewed as tested running Leopard). Now let&#039;s see how fast third party programmers are in exploiting all the new advantages Apple is offering them.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If all their Real improvement is behind the scenes, then lets hope that idiots who know nothing, don&#039;t go out and buy leopard, then claim that &quot;this is s---, nothings new&quot; :p

btw... did you fix the quoter plugin gene? it seems to work fine... maybe it&#039;s just browser conflicts</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve alrealdy upgraded my Macbook to Leopard and so far it&#039;s working very well. The upgrade went easily and the tools are pretty cool. The ones I liked most are the new Finder that imports the Cover Flow function from iTunes and the new iChat which allows the insertion of images and films.  If you haven&#039;t upgraded yet,  there are some interesting videos I&#039;ve found that show Leopard&#039;s new  tools and effects:
