I was recently able to upgrade to OSX Leopard on both my work and home graphics stations and am really enjoying it! There are some cool new features that Leopard adds to the mix and I've been taking advantage of those quote a bit these past few days. My favorites so far are the advanced network capabilities (thank goodness we finally have networking capabilities that can compete with a windows machine out of the box... in my opinion this was MAC's weakest point in past releases), the ability to stack items in the dock (my dock no longer overfloweth...), time machine (this is amazing and really much better than I expected), cover flow (hooray- now I can browse files AND look cool doing it). to name a few. I've been much more impressed with this upgrade than I originally though I would be.
One option that I'd love to get working, but am still somewhat skeptical about, is the Back to my Mac ability that Leopard boasts. I was just approved to work from home one day a week and this option would be really helpful to me! Using this function I would be able to, in theory, access my work computer from home and control it. If I'm missing a file or need to grab something from the company servers, all I'd need to do is log in and drag-drop it to my home workstation. This is all fine and dandy, but tapping through the ports is something that should prove to be challenging. I'll post more on this if I am able to get this to work properly in the next month.
