It’s one month since I took delivery of my Powerbook, and I’m still chuffed to bits with it. It still runs smoothly, feels powerful, and getting used to the OS has been like falling off a log that’s been perfectly designed to fall off of. Both the hardware and software are graceful, unobtrusive and actually let you get on with doing something useful!
I’ve just seen the article Ten Things I Hate About Mac OS X on the Peachpit website. I read the article with interest, as I thought it might have a few frustrations that I could steer clear of. What I noticed, however, was that all ten points are really petty (e.g. “Pinwheel Pauses” - the equivalent of the Windows egg-timer)! That’s not to say that they aren’t valid annoyances, but it’s reassuring to see that someone who uses OS X all day can’t find any serious problems with it.

You could always install XP if OS X gets too annoying :P

Well, you know, I’ve only got a license for the Dead Badger edition.

Would having someone else explain it help? (needs sound)
