  • I did it, I read all of the comments before posting. How lame is that? Anyway, I have to say that the Mac fanatics (I was one 10 years ago before switching to Windows) are a curious lot. The key location of the command key isn't a big problem for me. The new feature of Tiger to let me switch keys is GREAT. However, this doesn't get rid of the difference between the platforms. I do a lot of development on Linux. I use X on my Mac to handle the work while staying on my Mac. The problem is I have to remember to use Control-C to copy text in an X window, and Command-V to paste it into a Mac window. Big pain. Then when I switch to my Windows XP box, I am back to using Control-C/Control-V. Only on the Mac am I required to make a translation. I don't want the few Mac fanatics who are too lazy/silly to switch. I'd just like an option that makes one key do the same thing in every window!! The mouse is a non-issue. I use a Logitech cordless trackball with a KVM, so I have three buttons everywhere. Since I bought a Mac-Mini, I didn't even have to throw away the one button mouse.

    What OS X Could Learn From Windows
  • Just a couple of notes from a new user. I have run into nearly no problems with Tiger upgrading from Panther. The only problem I was having with Safari sometimes crashing were fixed with 10.4.1. I use RSS daily in Safari, but I guess I don't read tens of thousands of feeds, so it performs without problem for me. Finally, as a former Windows user, I laughed when I saw the specs for the Mac's when I bought mine. 256MB for a modern operating system shouldn't be taken seriously. I upgraded to 1GB right away, and have been very happy with that decision. I suspect a lot of problems people see on the Mac is because they actually believe Apple when they say the OS runs in 256 or even 512MB of RAM.
