I've been using Jag for about 2 weeks now...
The SMB thing is a pain in the ass...I go back and forth from work and when I forget to unmount shares from one place my computer basically just dies. Relaunching the Finder hardly ever works.
iChat is completely worthless. I'm sticking with Adium (tabbed message windows are a must.)
The speed is appreciated--especially launching apps, but window resizing has not improved. The Terminal app is faster though, which is nice.
I'm still waiting for iCal.
Overall I'm very happy, but not everything is perfect. I guess I expect too much.
Toshiba's 20Gig drive has a slightly different form factor than their 10 and 5 Gig ones. It's slightly taller, but same width and length. I wish I had the link to back this up.
I'm not sure where the 30 seconds comes from.
I've used iTunes on OS X since September on a G3 500 and G4 667 and haven't had any performance problems. Currently I have 7 gigs of mp3s spread over about 20 playlists. Even searching is instantaneous.
Sure, iTunes isn't perfect, but I can't really imagine a more elegant and easy to use music application that includes all iTunes does.
I read the biography first, then went to see the movie.
I found the biography interesting and detailed...my favorite part was when Nash replied to an offer by the University of Chicago by saying he was next in line to become emperor of Antarctica.
The movie *is not* the story of Nash's life. It is a Hollywood story, cleaned of all extraneous plot and simplified for the screen. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it, even with its extreme omissions and changes.
The book and the movie are two entirely different things, don't go into one expecting the other.
I worked at the media lab as a freshman MIT EECS student last spring for $8 an hour. My group was decked out with donated 18.1 inch LCDs, food at meetings and other perks. I can't imagine all the things professors and grad students got to play around with. All good things have to come to an end, the environment there through the dot-com boom was definitely too good to be true.
i've got an imac dv se 500mhz G3 --about 14 months old and it runs os x 10.1 with plenty of speed I added 256 megs of PC100 RAM to bring it up to 384. New, something like this might run about $1100, used you might be able to do a little better.
