Apple crumble

As most of my friends know my resolve not to buy some Apple related thing that I want rarely lasts 24hrs and never the week. Last time round it was a Mac mini. As it happens it was fortuitous that I did buy it because it bridged the gap while I waited for my new MacBookPro and is now doing sterling service as a media centre and development server.

This time round it's Leopard. I had decided to wait for my friend Bethlet who is visiting the UK in November (yay!) to bring a copy over for me, thus avoiding Apple's I live in the UK tax. Then a few days ago the crumbling began as I read John Siracusa's review and got all dreamy about CoreAnimation and it's kin. Many others came forward to tempt me.

However... be shocked... I have, against all odds, held out. I'm still planning to wait for November for Leopard and might still hold off on 10.5.1 before installing. Could I be less bleeding edge?

On the other hand maybe I'll go break my credit card on an iPod touch tomorrow ;-)
