Month: November 2007

What were they thinking? I have some complaints:

1) Great large screen. Why allow me to have tons of windows and then require me to mouse to the top of the screen for my drop down menus. I know – shortcuts. I didn’t need them on Linux/Windows. I like drop down menus. Really.
2) Themes? Umm… What am I missing? I can’t change the window decorations, etc? Odd. I must be missing something here. Windows and Linux do it and well.
3) Mail. Close – but it chokes on importing my thunderbird email. I was looking forward to using it. Instead using Thunderbird still.
4) Mouse button. So there are apps that use the 2nd mouse button but you use command button and the mouse? I know, I’m a windoze dummy.

I like:
1) iChat – works just right, love the camera
2) Monitor. It’s just great.
3) Calendar, nice app.
4) Software, most my fav open source apps still work.
5) X11…. I started an xterm… oh…..

Well… It is supposed to be simple. I didn’t get one with Leopard installed, so I ran the install disk and did a clean install. Now I’m missing all my bundled software… Back to the original disks to try installing just that. So far okay, but i did expect more of an out of the box experience from Apple… More to come.
