I received my copy of Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) on Wednesday, and decided to install it last night.  The 60+ minute (yikes!) install went very smoothly, and is up and running perfectly.  It even got rid of my old Symantec anti-virus that I installed (and it wouldn’t even work ‘cuz it wasn’t fully Intel compatible).

The only glitch is that I discovered that the installation gave me a version of Adobe Flash player with some sort of vulnerability.  (Tsk tsk Apple!)  A quick download fixed that this morning.

Now I just have to wait for my copy of Windows 7 to get here in the last week of October (and I have to get 4 more GB’s of RAM and a bigger hard drive).  My ol’ 80 gigger just doesn’t cut it anymore.  I’ll also be running Windows 7 64-bit.  It won’t be a bad little system though.  It will be a fast little system (Asus M3A78-EM, e-GeForce 7200 GS, 8 GB RAM, 1TB WD Black HDD, and a TSSTCorp SH-S223Q DVD burner).   Not a bad little basic system … it does what I need it to do.  And since I don’t play any games, it’ll hold its own for a long time.
