Mac OS Can Be Late, Too!

I just saved $2,000. I was all set to buy a Mac laptop as soon as Leopard, the new OS, shipped this spring. Fortunately for my bank account, Leopard is being pushed back to this fall. It seems that Leopard developers are being switched over to the iPhone project so that it can stay on track to ship in June.

I wouldn't mind an iPhone, but $500 is a mite steep. What about you? Will you be lining up come June to pick up one of these little beauties? Let me know at [email protected].
