John Brissenden:
OK, I’ll start. It’s a tie between Safari 3.x and Mail. Safari because it’s slow, and temperamental - I’ll do the slow and temperamental around here, thank you very much - and so much worse than the boring-but-at-least-it-worked 2.x. Mail for pretty much the same reasons, and especially because it’s the poor man’s GMail.
Andrew Fox:
Mail is awful. Safari is...

I’m torn between the $1999 and $2500 MacBook Pros. Here are the big factors for me:
Advantages of the $2500 MacBook Pro
Has extra GPU ram, which is useless to me because I’m not a gamer. BUT, Snow Leopard will take advantage of this extra processing power for normal tasks as well. Is it worth it?
6MB of cache. Will I notice it?
I’m opting for the 250gb 7200 rpm drive...

After a few more days of use, this mouse is even worse than I originally thought:
It sometimes loses reception for a split-second and the pointer takes a massive jump across the screen.
Middle-click (clicking by pushing the wheel straight down) does work, but it’s so unreliable that I assumed it didn’t do anything. You have to push down very hard, and it has to be perfectly straight...

Honestly - I have mp4 videos on my Mac, so how do I have them converted so I can put them on my iPhone? I used to use videodora on my PC, but now what?
OK. I’ve been trying different things (thanks Corey & Craytonc) and I’ve settled on iSquint. Looks like it’s working!

He’s had a Mac for less than a week and he’s already teaching us new things. With wake-on-LAN to wake it up again when you need it, this is a great way to have your home Mac available when you’re away all day without leaving it on constantly.
I’ve always wondered about this!

Re: The Mac Pro

Me:
[The Mac Pro] is, by far, the most amazingly fast, spacious, capable, and well-designed computer I’ve ever used.
Casey:
I have no doubt that’s a nice machine, and I am certainly glad his all-too-familiar, all-too-painful wait is over. That said, can one of the Fanbois explain to me what makes Apple computers any better than a PC set up by an intelligent user?

Power user setup on OS X
marco:
Casey Liss just got his first Mac. (I guess I won this.)
Note to Windows readers: This post is full of the little squiggly “⌘” symbol found on the “Apple key” on the keyboard. Windows’ Unicode support is half-assed, so if you can’t see ⌘this⌘symbol⌘ or if it shows up as question marks or boxes, oh well. You’re probably already skimming over this post anyway because you’re angry that...
Good/Free Mac Software

Casey is about to join the addiction and needs some help with software choices.
Multi-protocol IM. I think Adium is the answer, but I’m open for alternatives
Adium is the standard. Use it. But please don’t use ugly visual settings.
Easy DVD Backups. I think I’d heard that Handbrake was good. I’m looking for something like DVDShrink.
Handbrake is the best tool I’ve ever seen to...

buzzandersen: The Coding Monkeys (of SubEthaEdit fame) have been kind enough to release what looks like some very nice open source code for doing port mapping in Cocoa apps. It could be very useful for indie developers who want to provide “Back to My Mac”-like functionality. Kudos on the slick web design for the project as well—it’s a lot more fun than the usual link to a Google Code site.
