Wow. Brave.

I'll wait until morning thanks, just in case.

10.5.5 needed for tomorrow's new MacBooks perhaps?

Any strings anywhere? :)

Changes don't seem that big, but glad that it's finally out. Happy to see that they touched Spotlight, which in my mind could always have been better

Too bad I'm at school right now, with my crappy and slow WiFi connection. Will update when I get home
