[Leopard and a new dvd writer]

After almost 3 weeks of waiting, my Leopard finally arrived on Sat morning. I almost missed the delivery man as he was knocking so softly! zzz. The package from Amazon, shipped to my vpostUSA address which then shipped the item to my address. I was kinda surprised at the package cos it was so small compared to Tiger. But there are nice holographic diagrams of the features in OS X front and back. Dunno am I unlucky or what, when I decided to put my installation dvd into my mac, my superdrive (dvd-writer in mac terms) could not read the dvd!! I read abt this happening to another guy in a local forum. After some probing, I realised my superdrive could not read dual layer dvds! No wonder I could not watch my Goong dvds anymore on my mac.

So I did some online research, read abt this Pioneer DVR-112 model which seemed to work great with macs and pcs alike. Went down to SLS to look for it and found it in Fuwell the 2nd branch on a higher level. It is cheap, only $52! compared my TDK dvd writer ard 3 yrs ago which costed me $199. Went back, bought hor-fun from Yishun seafood. I was stuck when I opened up my mac to self install. Thanks to not doing enough homework, I almost dismantled the wrong parts only to find out I do not need any special tools to remove the lousy Sony dvdwriter. I just need to turn the level and push out the drive! Only tools needed are some screwdrivers to remove the screws on the old drive and then placed them onto the new one..and that's it!

Anyway the new drive can read the Leopard dvd and I am not on OS X Leopard 10.5.1. I absolutely love the built in Jpn-Eng dictionary haha. Also included are FrontRow too and most of my prgrams including Photoshop CS2 works well. Only thing is Onyx does not work with Leopard.

My whole Sat is gone like that haha.Played Rachet and Clank Future..wow this game really lives up to its name! Definitely one of the most fun game I played.
