Re: So I was playing around with OSX...

I admit i feel lost when I have windows over top of other windows.

In Windows and Linux, you have a listing of each window on the taskbar, so you can pick the one you want.
In OSX, you have the icon. thats it. I find i can quickly go into expose to pick out the window, but that seems a little awkward.

just call me...

She has been converted actually... She used to use #! 9.04 for about a year and she continued to use it even after she bought the mac. However, the last 4 months she's using only the mac, mainly because of it's size I think...

Yes... Remember that. Size matters! lol

Well, smaller or bigger, what's important is that she feels comfortably holding it in their hands, that it snuggles well! lol Ok, let's stop this, we're getting way out of topic!

Re: So I was playing around with OSX...

I am rather having fun learning about OS X with a hackintosh that I built from this Dell laptop (I am running it in a separate HDD and just swap out between them) . My only issue is with Wi fi but I suspect I'll figure that out soon too. big_smile big_smile

Everything has it's place in my home; Linux on my computer, windows on the wall, & M$ in the trash!!!
