Hey, Mate! Good find...
If my recollection is correct, you've been a Mac user for about a year now. How's it going? Hope all is well with you and yours.
Just a few thoughts,

Tis fabulous!
The Macs are now three: \r\n - The original iBook, which has now had an AirPort card and its memory maxed out
\r\n- The G4 466MHz (upgraded with a PowerLogix 1GHz G4) "Digital Audio" (currently semi-retired pending complete OS reinstallation to see if the sporadic hard lockups go away)
\r\n- The 1.42GHz Mini (with builtin BlueTooth & Airport options), which is my daily driver, as it were
\r\nCurrent Hot Apps are:\r\n - [link|http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelmac/main.html|Photoshop Elements 3] - You get a lot of fun for your fifty smackers. Birthday pressie, used every time I take pictures
\r\n- [link|http://www.apple.com/iwork/|iWork] - I do most of my day-to-day textual work (that's not just plain text) in Pages. Don't have much use for Keynote, although I intend to explore the "Make a Quicktime Slideshow out Of Your Photos" functionality. Again, astounding value for forty sheets.
\r\n- <boo, hiss>[link|http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/office2004/office2004.aspx?pid=office2004|Microsoft] Office 2004</boo, hiss>. Windows people, you're being denied. This is what the Office folk really intended to turn out.
\r\n- [link|http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/|Omnigraffle] - Like Visio, but not desk-bitingly frustrating to use. It speaks Visio XML format, too.
\r\n- [link|http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php|iDefrag] - It defrags your disk, with spangly graphics. Licencing is sane (buy for desktop, can install on one or two laptops)
\r\n- [link|http://colloquy.info/|Colloquy] - IRC client powered by the irssi codebase. Like X-Chat Aqua, but nicer.
\r\n- [link|http://www.adiumx.com/|AdiumX] - Like GAIM (and is powered by libGAIM), but with a GUI that wasn't half-inched from AIM
\r\n- [link|http://www.bitsonwheels.com/|Bits On Wheels] - A nice BitTorrent client, that's not written in Java.
\r\n- [link|http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/|Fugu] - A top-drawer SCP/SFTP client
\r\n- [link|http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/|SubEthaEdit] - A rather pleasant text editor
\r\n All three boxes are running OS X 10.4.2. I'm all over Spotlight, and I'm finding that although I don't think about Dashboard very much, I really do miss it when it's not there (i.e. when I'm on the Wretched Windows PC at work). I use the dictionary and UK yellow pages widgets a lot. \r\n\r\n When the home PC is finally paid for (it's on a byzantine HP scheme through work), it's history. \r\n\r\n Sayonara, Bill! \r\n\r\n TTFN, Linus! (Well, not really. I have a Linux server that's not going anywhere; I don't really fancy transplanting the mail infrastructure to an OS X box just yet. May happen one day, though...)

yes, although I think the inspectors have gotten too complex
