[DM-MUG] Leopard runs hotter?

[Roses Derise]

Also 109.99 at macmall with rebate for shipping.

So far, I feel regret that I bought Leopard. A lot of little things don't
seem to work well--such as some (but not all) the little yellow memory
strips (such as the ones that pop up, say, account numbers), and my printer
drive not loading properly on start-up. As some of you have said, I don't
like the folders and even though I am not a fan of dark colors, I do seem to
have adapted to the black dock and I do feel some admiration for the sleek
designing. I like the stationary in Mail and I love the Spaces feature and
other things that someone here wrote was just cosmetic stuff, which I agree.

My biggest complaint, and for me its a big deal, is that I suspect that on
my Macbook Pro where my hands on directly on the machine, Leopard runs
hotter than Tiger. 

I bought Leopard primarily because of Time Machine. As a writer, even ten
minutes of lost work can be major, like an artist losing carefully laid down
brush strokes. But within a few minutes of using it, I unplugged it,
realizing that that I'd have been smarter to take the time to use a $20
flash drive every so often because, with Time Machine running, the computer
heats up a lot more, driving me nuts when I am trying to focus on creative
work with that irritating noise of the fan running and from the heat on my
palms. 

I'm sure Apple will come along with fixes for the bugs and that over time
I'll adapt to the changes, but as someone who is not computer savvy and can
only review from a superficial level, at this point, I can't say getting
Leopard was worth the price.
