Apple's site said it would come with Leopard, and it did, only on DVD. It booted up in OS X 10.4.10. Does getting the academic discount entitle you to a little extra labor?

I've had two fatal errors, forcing a hard restart. Were it not for those two incidents I'd be delighted. Obviously I'm much less so, but still I'm not yet even considering going back to 10.4. Time Machine is simply amazing, and is worth it to me all by itself.

Linux, and Windows simultaneously. Virtualization really raises the bar on how much memory (and disk space) you need.

Even with a couple of large Eclipse instances I don't seem to hit the wall with my 2G. Although it's nice not to have to think about it. 4GB ?
