<p>I just got a new Macbook Pro and I'm slightly underwhelmed so far. It didn't have Leopard installed, it has Tiger. Ok, not a big deal, but it is a slight annoyance, considering Leopard has been out for over a month. It did come with the Leopard DVD, so no problem, I'll just install that. So I pop in the DVD, reboot, and we're back to the Welcome to Mac OS X 10.4 screen. :(</p> <p>Luckily I stumbled across <a href="http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20050311073316780">this article</a> the says hold down "C" while it is booting to get it to boot from DVD. Or maybe the command key. Oh, and if that doesn't work, then try Command+Option+Shift+Delete. Huh? I know that white screen that comes up with the grey apple is pretty and everything, but do you think they could have it detect if you have a DVD in the drive, and if so, have it say "Press the Apple Key to boot from DVD"? It's always the little things. Anyway, let's see if I can have <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.com">Rails</a> running by the end of the night.</p>
