OS X: First Impressions

Due to (ongoing) hard drive problems, I installed Mac OS X on my main computer a few days ago, a little earlier than I’d wanted. So far, so good, although the fact that not all my applications have been updated yet means that I’m using Apple’s Mail program instead of Entourage, and using a “preview” version of IE. A bit of re-learning to do, in terms of file management and just navigating around, but I think I’ll get used to it. One of the coolest things has been using an instant messaging client called Fire, which allows you to simultaneously log into AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN and other networks and keep all your buddies in one big list. I think it’s open source, too.
