OK, so I've decided that when I do get that new laptop, this will have to be my desktop -- Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) coming October '07

Five bucks says the launch date for Mac OS X 10.5 is October 5th - 10.05. [The dual Quad-core Mac Pros were released on 04.04]

I had forgotten, until doing some reading this weekend, the significance of numerology at Apple. The first personal home computer they sold way back in 1983 [I didn't purchase one of these -- unfortunately, I bought an 8088 from Texas Instruments I believe it was -- that's a WHOLE OTHER POST!] sold for $666.66 -- CREEPY!

I would also be willing to say that the iPhone, which is set to debut next month, will more than likely be released on June 11. 611 is Cingular's "Customer [no] Service" number and with Cingular being the exclusive provider.... I should also note that 611 is the number for which you reach people in India. At least, that's how it works for me. If I ever get the urge to speak to someone in India, I just dial 611 on my cell phone... AND THAT my friend... is a whole other post too!

Of course... We all know what 6/11 is. The opening day of Apple's WWDC Worldwide Developers Conference. Could it be that they would also release the iPhone and the beta version of Leopard on the same day? We'll have to wait and see...

Some believe that Leopard will integrate Windows interoperability. Since Steve Jobs announced the switch to Intel nearly two years ago, it has been continually rumored that Macs would gain the ability to run Windows applications naively within OS X. And with Jobs set to reveal Leopard’s “secret features” at next month's Worldwide Developers Conference [WWDC], the idea has taken hold. Those in the know are “expecting a full-feature demonstration of Leopard, including a demo of how Leopard will integrate Windows interoperability.

No more Virtual PC YIPE! Not even Parallels? But what about Boot Camp?
