    If you follow Mike Wilson's .plan file, you'll see that GOD is basically not going to bother developing any more Mac games. Not because of techinical assistance, which has happened, but because Apple's marketing and corporate image is doing *nothing* advance the cause of gaming on the Mac. i.e. no help from Apple in the marketing/image department to make the mac attractive to gamers.

    - double-clicking a taskbar icon will iconify that application. great for getting stuff out of your way.

    So does Windows (98 onwards)

    - right-clicking a taskbar icon gives you a menu which includes 'iconify other windows', which is really handy since I usually have like 14 Konsoles, 11 Netscapes, GAIM, XMMS, Quanta+ and StarOffice open simultaneously.

    Windows has 'Minimize All Windows' which is functionally similar, but for one mouse click.

    - Right click on desktop gives you a menu which includes 'Logout'. I find that much easier to deal with than windows, which requires you to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del or click on the Start button.

    Or Alt-F4 when the root window is focused.

    - Alt-F2 brings up a little input field which I can use to start an app quicker than using the menus. It keeps a history too, so I can cycle through previous commands.

    Windows Key + R

    - Rotating desktop wallpapers. I have a directory of about 450 hi-color psychedelic 1024x768 wallpapers, and I have KDE set to switch to a random one every 30 seconds. Keeps things interesting

    3rd party freeware will do this in Windows. Additonally, you can use a simple JScript or VBScript in an HTML page, and use that in active desktop. If you like rotating wallpapers, I have a feeling you don't give a shit about preformance =)

    Also, you can get X-style focus-follows-mouse using TweakUI, as well as a few other goodies (they provide an interface for the long-standing Tab Completion registry hack that's been in Windows since the start of NT4).

    They did a great cover of I Can't Forget on I'm Your Fan (tribute album).

    Also, Don Henley did a pretty decent cover of Everybody Knows on Tower of Song (another tribute album).

    Still, my favourite is Tori Amos covering Famous Blue Raincoat.

    Anyway, do you know where I might find that Pixies cover of EK?
