It's worse that that!

I've been picking up a few hints and tips by listening to the=20
various mac
related podcasts available - all appear to be US based as you=20
might imagine!

Thing is I'm starting to drop words like "cool"
"awesome" "dude" into my
vocabulary :-)

Only kidding!

Just so everyone doesn't think I've gone completely over the=20
top with the
mac thing there are a few minor niggles:

Agree with Li re the quality of the voice but I don't think=20
I'll be using
that much - nice to see it included as part of the OS anyway.

Had a little fight with Keyboard mapping as I'm using a PS2=20
keyboard via a
KVM or Terminal Services. A couple of the keys are in the wrong place. I
might go the whole hog and get an Apple keyboard - only =A319 and=20
you get 2
USB ports in it.

Struggled a bit with mapping Windows shares and having them=20
auto connect on
boot - Apple uses SMB so a nice little app SMB Manager sorted that out
(Freeware). All hunky dory now.

Scratched my head on what email client to use - Tried Thunderbird, Apple
mail and MS Entourage. Entourage won hands down. Imported all=20
my PST files
from Outlook using a $10 app called Outlook2mac. Had to do it=20
via Apple mail
but worked well.

Other than that, no other major issues!

PS Expose is a fantastic part of the OS - move the mouse to the=20
left hand
corner of the desktop and all open windows shrink and arrange=20
themselves on
the screen allowing you to pick which one to come to the front=20
- awesome!

Damm......
