Running Leopard yet ? I've noticed I get a few overight crashes when running a bit torrent client but apart from that it's superb. Spaces is a cool new app that has lots of pragmatic, functional benefits if you multi task a lot.

Enjoy; I hope like me you find it to be a really worthwhile investment and so much more fun to mess around with. I truly hate working with Windoze at work now. Just so damned dull and slow and glitchy.

I believe you are going through what I went through when I switched almost 5 years ago. I'm pleased to tell you that unlike other infatuation stages, this one doesn't ware off. You will continue having a warm fuzzy feeling every-time you play with it and your mantra is "I love my Mac"

Be warned: If you have OH then the OH might feel slightly jealous as you start to love Mac more than OH.

That's great, but you know that warm fuzzy feeling you have? It's not Mac love, it's your balls about to catch fire... those things get h-o-t

You owe me a new laptop. I just sprayed Coffee all over it.



Seriously speaking, yes they get hot. I have burn marks on my thigh.

There's half a million things I have yet to discover. I'm at work right now back on a PC, but fortunately we're in the middle of a snowstorm at the mo", so I'm going to knock off at lunch time to go home and play some more.

Cheers.

Shocked! Shocked, I say! Why is there never a Moderator around when you need one?

Oh.

Ah, sorry. Remiss of me. The forecast suggests it will also be a-freezing raining and a-ice pelleting later on. Joy!

Kinda ironic that the above contains a spelling that doesn't really fit - Were you not the one that started this thread ?
