Knight Rider Gadget: Apple Keyboard?

I've decided to start a new series of post knowing as "Knight Rider Gadgets". I will attempt to showcase all the modern day gadgets used on KITT or throughout the show. Starting with last night's post on Knight Rider Gadget: Nokia N95 Touchscreen.

In this entry, I noticed within KITT's glove compartment, rolls out an APPLE wireless keyboard. Does this mean KITT is powered by Leopard OS X? :)

Mac OS X Leopard Pre-Order on Amazon.com

I noticed on Amazon.com tonight, they have the Mac OS X Leopard available as Pre-Order. The price is the as expected $129.99. I have been checking on Apple website everyday since Oct 1st to see when the new Leopard 10.5 will become available. Perhaps the release date is coming close as Amazon.com is gearing up for the sale. Here is what the website says:

"This product is expected to ship sometime in October. We will update the site with more specific information as soon as it is available, including system requirement details."

There are some rumors indicating that Mac OS X Leopard may be available by Oct 26th.
