Nadolig Llawen!
Great shark pic, btw. ... That'd be easier for people to remember as well. Mac OS X 10.6 Shark. Much easier to remember than to keep apart big cats.
It isn't photo-shopped. It's a house in Headington, Oxford. The owner is Bill Heine, an American DJ who works for BBC Radio Oxford. He wanted to add a loft extension to the small house and the local council refused, so he got a crane and a plastic shark and simply dropped it onto the roof as a protest.Great shark pic, btw. ...

Yick! Then we'd still be stuck in the days of the PowerMac 8600, 8650, 9600, 9650, 7100, 7200, 7500, 7600, and the Performa 650... aaaaaah! Noooo! Get away, Gil Amelio!Stick to the numbers, Apple. It helps supporting.

I think maybe it's the same thinking behind card modeling names and numbers... for example, there are a ton of BMW 325i cars over the last few decades, only differentiated by their model year (i.e., BMW 325i, 2006 model). Someone saying "I've got a Volkswagen Jetta" doesn't tell you much -- they could have a 1988 model, or a 2008 model -- BIG difference!I'm glad my iMac is not called "iMac 5300" or something like that. Although "iMac (mid 2007)" doesn't really make for good-feel differentation-name imho either.
The OS numbers, however, still have the longstanding question what will happen in 2010/2011, though. Not because "11 comes after 10.9", of course. Since 10.4.11 Apple has cleared that one up.
