the directory structure seems very foreign because it's different from Windows
This totally awesome Binary Watch on my wrist seems very foreign because it's different from a bullet going through my head.
Anand criticizes the price of the system he bought several times. He spent about $2700 on a top of the line, dual processor G5 because:
I knew that if I was going to give the platform a good chance, I needed to get the fastest system that Apple had to offer.
Unfortunately, it probably never occurred to him that if he'd bought a nice $1300 iMac G5, with much lower specs, his user experience would have been just about thew same. Those cycles only come in handy when you're doing compute-intensive stuff. I run a 1GHz G4, even slower still, and get the same kind of Safari/Mail/Word performance he does. I really wish I had a G5 every time I've got 20 audio plugin instances running in my Pro Tools session, along with the obligatory 32 tracks and a DV movie.
Thank goodness 10.4 will work with rsync

After reading this, and generally being a little let down by MacOS backup solutions, I'm very glad 10.4 will give proper support for rsync.
