In turn, then, I expect to move from a stance of being a late, a very late, adopter to greater enthusiasm for trying out new technologies -- and maybe even buying Leopard pretty darn soon. I know that making this shift will certainly help me better use technology for all kinds of productive reasons. And for fun. Which leads to...
