I REALLY like the Dashboard on the Mac. I downloaded free, custom widgets for the weather, gas prices, near-real-time traffic maps for Seattle, technical/utilization statistics (iStats) for my Mac, calculator, dictionary/thesaurus, and so on.
One click of the mouse... and all of this data is in front of me. VERY handy.
Of course, there is no free ride. Each widget consumes memory on the Mac. However, I have 2 GBytes of memory/RAM and so I've got some headroom.
This blog will document my experiences of moving from Windows to a Mac. I do IT/computers/consulting for a living, have 20+ years in the business, and am simply no longer willing to be a "test pilot" for software such as Microsoft Vista. I just need it to work.
