Why Leopard was really delayed…

Much to my extreme disappointment, Leopard has been delayed until October. For all you that can’t count, that’s still six whole months away. While Apple may attribute Leopard’s delay to a certain device called the iPhone, the Joy of Tech comic has some other reasons why Leopard is late:
- Too many Apple resources are focused on producing new Get a Mac ads.
- Apple employees are now working second jobs so they can afford an iPhone.
- Leopard is a conspiracy on the scale of the fake Moon landings.
- Programmers keep wasting their time playing with that damn iPhone!
- Someone keeps pressing the Time Machine button and all Leopard code reverts to that of six months ago.
- Apple is in a copyright dispute with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, maker of the Leopard tank.
- Vista sucks, there’s no need to rush.
Be sure to visit the Joy of Tech comic page to see all the above reasons in comic-style complete with illustrations and captions.

I don't believe the majority of those reasons to be true. They just sound silly. But I am dissapointed because there were several release dates I was looking forward to. Now we have to wait until October.
