It’s NOT the Same

So I’ve now got OSX Leopard Running on my 15″ PowerBook G4 and it seems to be doing OK. I haven’t really noticed much of a slowdown in performance. In fact, somethings have gotten faster.

Not to sound like a battery commercial but, for some reason Energizer batteries are lasting longer than the Duracel batteries I’ve used for years in my bluetooth Logitech mouse. Duracel batteries normally last 3-4 days. The Energizer have been in there since last Monday and the low battery light has yet to start blinking. I…
