Alt-Tab's still there (Apple-Tab), but Expose also's works as keybased (F9, F10, F11 by default, but you can change that), so you can F11, then arrow to the one you want.
But you can do all of that! Off the whole "OSX is BSD, but prettier" angle, all you have to do is load up ">console" mode at login, and fire up an XWindow manager. Poof, looks and works just like linux.
Given, OSX's Aqua has cleaner better solutions than that, IE, GIMP runs fine under the X11, or you can pay $$25 and get an Aqua'd version from Open OS X. As for virtual vesktops, there's a host of 3rd party apps for it, but make sure you give Expose a try first. Greatest thing since slice bread.
Easy answer. The iBook isn't shipping for 3-5 days, which is after Panther comes out. The towers are shipping now, so they can't say they ship with Panther.
Yeah, definatly hate the "turn onto ramps" thing. Especially RandMcnally, who seems to give me 2 or 3 turns for every off ramp. For something that runed out to really only have 5 turns, I had 3 pages of directions from them.
For the record, almost every one of those (not sure about Deus Ex, which was a fun game. Loved the mechanics of how the upgrades worked. ) is on the Xbox.
Actually, with Panther, all shipping mac will have 2 if not 3 NICs. Sound crazy? You've got your standard RJ-45, then you've got one for ethernet over firewire (fw0 device), and then for almost all of their laptops, there's an Airport card. I'm guessing its not by MAC address.
Yup, I'm guessing it's either pulls something like you MAC address or a Serial Number, but I'd still like a way to deautherize computers without being at the computer, a la iSyncing with.Mac
Um, iTunes does support.wav file. There's a plugin to use.ogg, you'll never get.wma, and I don't even know what.gcx is, except for some reason I'd expect it to be the music played at the goats.cx link.
Also should make sure you've gone through the 'Accessability Controls,' might need to reinstall them from your OS Disks. The Zoom features are really useful for those with failing vision.
just had to break it to my dad last week that he'll need to get a new printer to work with the G4 he bought. His Imagewriter II won't hook up.
ps. We'll revisit it when Panther comes out. I've got a sick suspicion that gimp print and a keyspan adaptor might actually work.
The whole system seems like a bit of a kludge at times, but you are missing something. You set up your calendars to sync with her, and she with hers. But you don't need to sync up all your calendars.
However, you are stuck with only being authorized to one.Mac account. If you have 1.Mac for your group, it works well.
But I agree, not pretty enough. So why not buy groupware software, instead of using iCal? Its not like owning a mac forces you to only use Apple's solutions.
No, his counterpoint to ICal's inability for groupware performance (and believe me, I wish it had it) is to use the Apple supplied software (and a.Mac account) to let your assistant edit your calendar. You make changes, and then sync to.Mac. You assistant then syncs, and gets your changes, and vice versa. Not really all that different from to her groupware clients. Except it only cost you the $99 for it, as opposed to whatever software you run on your pc.
Depending on what you need office for, wait 'til panther. As odd as it sounds, TextEdit has gotten pretty damn close to all the features in word I use, and even does one critical thing better: Foreign language support. Language in Office V.X are a joke, but TextEdit seems to work flawlessly. Even for Hebrew and Arabic, those right to left banes of language programs
Between that and Keynote, you just need Excel. Got no replacement for that, because Excel is still the best spreadsheet program on the market.

What's the big deal? Its not like this 4 tons of dead plants are doing anything else if I'm not using it.
Got the Apple store, click on the left hand column for "Government" and in there there's a selection for "State & Local Government Employees".
Or go here.
Easy answer. The iBook isn't shipping for 3-5 days, which is after Panther comes out. The towers are shipping now, so they can't say they ship with Panther.
Also there's a pretty nice discount for government employees (federal, state and local).

All the servers it runs on aren't free, even for Apple.

I thought you all just used .ogg??
They're comparing it to MusicMatch, a similar mp3 player/ burner on the PC side. You have to pay to get some of it better features. Like burning.
Sure it does. It just takes some 8 hours to do it.
Yeah, bad article, but it was the fastest one that came up under google to prove my point.
Try again. The VA cluster is running OSX, as seen here.
What, you mean "work in our national language or we'll not let you have our business?"
Now try it without being an Admin on your machine.

OpenGroupware's had some good reviews, at opengroupware.org.
Personal favorite, though, is Meetingmaker.
