I was a bit behind Neal, because I had to wait a while before I had an  
OS X capable machine at home (I'm something of a FrankenMac expert and  
some of my machines are, well, "vintage" is putting it kindly), but I  
embraced it as soon as I had a machine that could run it.

(And my user environment is intact, and incrementally upgraded, from  
10.1.5 on my original home Wallstreet G3.  And the user environment on  
my work machine is also intact, and incrementally upgraded, beginning  
with the first public release of 10.0.  I'd be running 10.6.3 on my  
current personal machine if it weren't for the completely unsupported  
install of MySQL 5 running alongside the mostly unsupported install of  
PHP 5 that I use for web development testing under the fully supported  
Apache 2 in 10.5.8.)
