I’ve just spent a good portion of the day upgrading the Apple OS on my MacBook Pro to OS X 10.5 (aka Leopard). The upgrade took time because I was ultra careful with ensuring that I had an up-to-date bootable backup, that I had cleaned out caches and ensured my back up was as free of cruft as possible. Then I did an “Erase and Install”, so that the hard disk was erased before installing the new OS and pulling my apps and files back in from the bootable backup.

I’m glad to say that it has all gone exceptionally well and I now have a fully functioning laptop with a nice clean install of the OS.

Alex, Charlie and the kids are staying this weekend - it’s really nice to see them all, our children and their children.
