So for those of you who use Macs, I finally got around to upgrading my G5 system to Tiger (OS X 4.1) yesterday. It seems to work pretty well–although the version off the DVD (4.0) was unstable–I needed to upgrade off the net right away. The two major new features: Spotlight (finds anything on your hard-disk) and Dashboard (a bunch of widgets that show up in a sort of Mac Expose way) are pretty cool–we’ll see how useful they are.
Why am I a mac person? Largely because I don’t like dealing with PC viruses and also because I know how to use unix pretty well (the underlying command-line OS). Would I still use Mac w.out the MS Office suite? Probably not. Open Office is getting better and better, but there’s still to much of a hassle factor.
