I got my new computer. Yay! I'll be spending the next few hours using the Tiger update CD that came with it, installing all the crap I need, moving over my data, and configuring it the way my old machine was set up. This wasn't typed on it; I think the wireless here isn't set up to accept connections from arbitrary machines. I'll work that out once lediva gets home.

Yay!

Oh, and here's a link to some of the most amazingly curmudgeonely reviews of Mac tools I've ever seen. Especially in the "Very Ugly" category, where the most horrible sins one can commit in design are (a) putting a friendly face on something that can be accomplished via the UNIX shell, because everyone should just learn UNIX and love it!, and (b) having .DS_Store files inside the application's bundle. OH NO.

As in file/directory aliases? I only had one in my old system, to put ~/Music on my larger drive.

I was actually thinking keyboard shortcuts, like Spotlight taking over Ctrl-S.

Ah. Yeah, I knew Spotlight had some shortcut (and the default's actualy apple-space, which will be changed because that interferes with image-editing shortcuts). I think the only other new one is the grabbing of another f-key for Dashboard.
