I pride myself in trying to not be too much a fan boy in any
technology.  I try to call a duck a duck and a spade a spade.  I
really like OSX and Mac hardware in particular.  However, this last
release while releasing some nice things like time machine and spaces
is really just a point release.  Even Microsoft doesn't charge $100
for a point release. If something deserves it, I will take a swing at
it. :)
