![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} Mac OS X for switchers from Windows -- Comment()
Ease into the Switch: "When new users come to the Mac platform, they bring fresh eyes and sometimes keen observations, which are useful for all of us. Here, recent switcher Michael Brewer offers a bucket-full of useful Mac OS X tips that he put together the old-fashioned way." [Mac Net Journal] This is a competent introduction to find the power of Mac OS X for Windows users. But you have to have Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2) to really start to like the system. There are a couple of nice "reminder" tricks even for the seasoned Mac OS X users.

Spring-loaded folders and Finder toolbars -- Comment()
Utilize spring loaded folders in Finder toolbars [Mac OS X Hints] This seems to be a nice way to get even more organized with Mac OS X. I didn't much use spring-loaded folders in Mac OS (I started to use Mac way before this feature was introduced, and old habits die hard). However, I have already started to like this feature in Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2). This is certainly a nice way to avoid cluttering the Finder desktop.

Writing about Jaguar -- Comment()
Today I wrote 689 words about Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2). Have to edit the text and make it more concise. Some details have to be verified, and some basic information added. All in all, I think that my second article about the new version of Mac OS X is about ready. Conclusion: the new system is a fine piece of work. I you are of the cautious type, you should however wait a few weeks for possible problems to be solved. But this version of Mac OS X is a compelling reason to switch even for the diehard "old" Mac OS users. It is a pleasure to write about this well designed system. Of course, there are some problems to be solved, and a few user interface issues also, but I must say that I'm a very satisfied user - with one week of experience of Jaguar, and one-and-half years of experience of Mac OS X.
