Snow Leopard Ups & Downs
Like many other geeks, I spent yesterday morning in line at the Apple store, waiting to get my nerdy hands on Snow Leopard. What follows is my experience with the installation process and the before and after comparison of my machine, a MacBook Pro (late 2008) Core 2 Duo 2.33 Ghz with 3GB RAM.
The Installation
From DVD insert to the “end” of installation, 46 minutes elapsed. I put the word “end” in quotes because I am guessing the installation did not end as it was supposed to; I got a blue screen with the MacOSx welcome video playing. I waited for the video to finish but the blue screen remained. To ensure this wasn’t part of the installation, I waited for about 10 minutes (not included in the 46 minutes) before holding down the power button to shut down my machine. After restarting, my normal desktop appeared and all was well.
