Just so that El Viejo is not the only one entertaining us with internet finds:
You know these pictures that are made up of lots and lots of small pictures? National Geographic

Yes, and not yet familiar with all features of Snow Leopard, it seems.
(I updated only three months ago.)

I keep finding there's loads of stuff newer versions of Ubuntu can do that the older versions can't (and I only went from Fiesty/Gutsy to Karmic - haven't even thought about upgrading again to Maverick yet)
