Soon I'll be getting iLife '08 for free, and hope to do some kind of web developing with the tools that it provides (like iWeb). I've never actually used the iLife programs, and I'd like to try out iMovie as well as stuff like GarageBand.

Kernel panic!
UPDATE: three now, as it kernel panicked on startup this morning for no apparent reason :(. Macs never crash eh?
I have had my PowerMac G5 dual processor 2.0GHz 512MB DDR Low-density SDRAM for about a year now, and have had two real and serious kernel panics. One of them was before I updated to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and one of them was, sadly, after. The first time my sister was fiddling with the power button (i.e. making it go thru loads of sleep/wake cycles very quickly) and I read that that can make certain machines Kernel Panic. That was when I was running Mac OS X 10.4.10 Tiger. The second time was when I put it under tremendous load (remember I only have 512 MB RAM), i.e. opening these apps and probably lots of others: Google Earth; Macromedia Flash Pro 8; 6 TextEdit windows; Safari; Apple Mail; iTunes; Adobe Photoshop CS; 76 xterms all running another xterm (i.e. in a long chain of xterms); 2 normal terminal windows (one running top); Google Sketchup; Google Sketchup Pro and countless other RAM hogging apps. That was when I was running Mac OS X 10.5.1 Leopard. I was in expose when it crashed.

Leopard *growl*
Me and fela just installed Leopard - it's AMAZING. Seriously, I think it's the best OS that has come out of apple so far.
Screenshots and review soon.
