Hi,
Thanks for the welcome! I've been meaning to post an intro message to
the list, but I just got my Mac 2 days ago, and I've been so busy
doing things
that I never got round to it. So, on the theory better late than
never:
I'm a 19 year old male from Toronto, Canada. I've used Windows since
I was 10 years old, and other than basic linux administration, this is
my first experience switching OS's. I'm impressed that In just two
days, I've been able to get my mail, rss, and web browsing set-up, as
well as install xcode and fink to get all the linux tools I'm used to
from my server administration. I've also got google talk and skype
set up with little difficulty, and installed ogg and flac support for
itunes/quicktime after some fighting. Other than MSN and a decent
word processor (text edit is missing features I need), I have
everything I need to make the OSX machine my main working machine. I
tried to get MSN going, but Messenger for Mac doesn't make voiceover
happy. I can't use a jabber transport with IChat because I need file
transfers. Once I do some basic research on these questions, I'll
probably end up posting to the list about them. But I'll google,
first. <grin> The reason I decided to switch in the first place is
because my Windows machine blue-screened in the middle of a university
lecture, and I lost an entire class's worth of notes. A week before
that, the university network infected me with a virus, even though I
run an up-to-date virus checker and windows updates. I don't have
time to deal with that stuff. Even if I can never do my assignments
on OSX for lack of a proper Microsoft Word replacement, at least I can
take notes in text edit with less risk of crashes in the midst of
class. Thus far, this machine has never been rebooted, other than to
install software updates.
