Here's a simple but very convenient feature for anyone that has ever helped a friend, colleague or family member with their Mac over the phone. Inevitably, you need to find out exactly what type of Mac they have, what display card is installed or version numbers of key applications and you spend the first several minutes walking them through how to find and then open Apple System Profiler navigating the Finder.

Well, Jaguar comes to the rescue with a small but very welcome feature. The More Info... button in the About This Mac window takes you directly to Apple System Profiler. Now when you need to find out exactly what is installed on someone's Mac, all you need to say is "Choose About This Mac... from the Apple menu, press More Info... and read me the Hardware Overview (or whatever section you need)"
