Testing Snow Leopard
I just installed and am testing out the WDC pre-release version of Snow Leopard. The Finder as advertised does feel much much snappier, as Apple says…

One huge difference? Adobe’s Photoshop costs hundreds of dollars. Sumo Paint is FREE! It does many of the same things. Here is a demo of Sumo Paint in action up on YouTube. Certainly worth […]
