Upgrade

My guide to upgrading to Mac OSX (oh-s-ten) 10.5 ("Leopard"), the easy way:

  1. Backup your main boot volume (usually entitled "Macintosh HD) using Superduper. Check your backup, to make sure it's backed up.
  2. Insert OSX 10.5 disc into CD/DVD (Super)drive.
  3. Double-click "Install Mac OSX".
  4. Click "restart".
  5. Make a cup of tea.
  6. Smoke a cigarette.
  7. Look impatiently at your Macs' screen several times.
  8. Wait two and a half hours 50 minutes about half an hour.
  9. Type in your password.
  10. Oh look, my desktop is exactly the way it was before I upgraded my entire operating system. Everything is just the way it was.
  11. Except, you know, shinier. And therefore better.

Thus endeth the lesson. Now try installing Vista in the same way.

I've been calling it "oh-s-ex" since forever. Doh!

Muppet! Easy mistake to make though. I used to call it oh-s-x too, but then I got a Mac, and was informed I was incorrect.
