Starting an iChat Theater session. Step 1: Select a document to share. Step 2: Invite a buddy to a video chat. Step 3: Project your file, presentation or iPhoto album to your buddy. Choosing what to sync with .Mac. In Leopard, you can sync Safari bookmarks, iCal calendars, Address Book contacts, Dashboard widgets, Dock items, Keychains, Mail accounts and preferences, Notes, and System Preferences across multiple Macs. Open dialog boxes now include the Finder sidebar, so any folder you frequently access in the Finder (or even folders you rarely access but often store files in) can be accessed with one click. Leopard lets you save Spotlight searches to the sidebar, giving you one-click access to your frequently used searches (or, more importantly, their results). Enabling the guest account lets friends log into your computer -- as well as open applications, create files and print -- without giving them access to anything you want to be private. All the actions of guests are deleted when they log out. Setting up file and CD/DVD sharing. With a file-sharing account, friends and family members can access your computer's shared files remotely, but they can't log into your computer. You can also choose to share any CD or DVD you insert into your Mac. A Terminal window group. If you like to work with multiple Terminal windows, you can save them as a collection (complete with window styles and sizes, titles and positions) that can be automatically restored all at once when Terminal is launched. Data detectors in Mail. When you mouse over relevant data such as dates, names of contacts, addresses or phone numbers, Mail prompts you to create, view or add information to events or contacts -- all from a single click and without any copying or pasting. The stunning new Mosaic screensaver combines tiny versions of all the photos from an iPhoto album or folder to create one big photomosaic image on your desktop.
