Ok, it’s just different. Different in good ways and in stupid ways. I can’t figure out why alt-tab shows me only icons of maximized windows. Couldn’t it be an option? No fear, get the free program “Witch” to help pick “Which” app you want – including the minimized ones. I’ll put a list of my favorite freeware items in an iMac HOW-TO since _____ will be asking for it soon.
The other day I got a kernal panic! How fun. OS X says, “Please power off your computer now”. Better than blue I guess. When I restart I find that the parental controls caused it. Hmm… How does that happen? This is unix right? I thought kernal panics mostly happened when there were system problems – maybe parental controls goes deeper than I expected, I just doubted it since the options are slim.
Part of my frustration has been some simple free software – like easy image editing, etc. I’ve found a bunch of that and am happy with some of that software.
The screen is great, the UI is fun, it takes up no room. It crashes but not like XP. No mysterious hangs like Vista. 1GB of RAM is plenty for 2-3 users with apps running. I’ll still give it a thumbs up.
