I’m still happy with my new Mac, and am discovering more joys of having a new Mac – especially one as zippy as the one I got (got extra RAM and extra MHz, didn’t I):
- Videos on YouTube aren’t choppy
- Image-intensive web sites load fast
- I can finally use Google Earth
- I can check out all the effects in Pixelmator without any waiting (or crashing)
- Uploading photos to Blogger is a lot snappier
- Having the speed and power to enjoy Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), which includes:
- Slide show function and RSS feed in Mail
- Added screen space and less screen clutter with Spaces
- Front Row – the media center for playing podcasts, music, DVDs, etc.
- Overall snappiness and stability
- Downloading a half dozen photos from my camera happens in a split second
- Watching DVDs on the gorgeous, glossy flat screen
- Built-in “Word of the Day” screen saver – and the screen saver shows the time
- Showing a clip from a web page in a Dashboard widget, in my case the daily weather graph from my favorite weather site.
- The new Apple keyboard that no longer has an edge that collects crumbs, cat hairs and dust.
