Yeah that was initially my thought. But I decided to give it a go on my laptop first (as the guinea pig), then my office machine, and then my photo production machine. The last is still running Tiger. So far I haven't found any untolerable problem. if 10.5.2 comes out soon, that's good news to me but I personally don't feel the need to wait. I recall, when 10.4.2 or 10.4.3 came out, the performance increased a bit. I am kinda hoping the same happens with Leopard. When I bought my dual G5 PowerMac I thought this would be the last computer I would need. But then handling 300MB images on Lightroom makes me wonder maybe I could use a dual quadcore machine some day :-) > An interesting bourbon, actually a rye, is Old Potrero, > made by the Anchor Steam beer company.

All I have read indicates that he is such a whiskey nerd and he wouldn't have time to worry about washing machines :-) Old Potrero is an interesting whiskey since Fritz Maytag wanted to reproduce the first American whiskey, which was made from rye in Pennsylvania. That's the "old" part of the name, and not the actual age of the whiskey. (18th century whiskey wasn't aged as long as today's whiskeys) I am not sure if extra aging of this whiskey will elevate appreciation, since it will further deviate from the original concept of the product, and this is not a part of my "investment" portfolio.
