Wow, there's a lot to address. 1st. I'll give windows the only nod ever - the ability to tone xp down to a classic windows look. I still hate it, but there's that. 2nd. keyboard shortcuts rock. I thought buying an external mouse for my laptop would be useful, but i found that it slows me down. that's because i used keyboard shortcuts like a maniac. in combination with the trackpad, i can use both hands to mouse around AND bang keys. that's just the best. finally. i do like the stability of osx, os9 wasn't too bad either, for most of the basic stuff. i don't do much more than mail, news and net, so os9 didn't crash all that often for me. of course, when it did crash, it always crashed hard. osx is certainly better about that. as far as aqua vs metal is concerned, i like aqua better. metal is so less appealing to me. i can do without the swoopy genie effects, and i do like the tabbed interface of safari. if that were to extend to other apps like the finder (which is the os, not the app, i know), that would be pretty neat. anyone losing productivity to the interface should take the time to learn how to mash buttons for effect. ultimately, it's faster. peace, ob1
