09 Aug 06 Get OS X Leopard NOW!!!

Okay so I lied to get you to read this post….but let’s check out some of the features in Leopard that you can have TODAY (P.S. I am accepting links to bittorent versions of Leopard).

Searchlight — Spotlight for networks ($29.90);

This post sort of steals some of my post-WWDC hype and excitement about Leopard :-\
