Help me with OSX version of Powerpoint?!

I've never managed to get that view myself. I don't think it actually exists in the mac version.

MacBook Pro Dual-core Performance <-- Intel Processor

I agree. The one button does suck, but that's why I plug in 3 button mice with scroll wheels into my macs when I use them for extended periods (well, my iBook anyway. I always have a 3 button mouse plugged into the iMac - note, it's the model before the mighty mouse came out - and the 1 button...

Botched associations on a Mac...

This problem is well known, and I call it "more than one version of MS Office on a Mac" problem. Microsoft actually recommends deleting the Test Drive before using another copy of Office. Unfortunately, you didn't know that so it didn't help. Deleting the preferences and the test drive...

MacBook Pro Dual-core Performance <-- Intel Processor

To those who think switching is buying a Mac, wiping OS X, and putting Windows on instead: That's not switching!!! That's changing OEM, like going from Dell to HP. Switching is going from Windows to OS X. The whole thing about getting a mac is for the OS X experience (well it should be...

Linux on a Mac

Like kamper said, you don't need to install Xcode to get all the developer stuff that comes with Linux. It's in OS X anyway. Xcode is just an IDE, and it's a nice one too. If you're happy to use vim, then don't worry about Xcode. A number of distros work on macs. There's Gentoo, Ubuntu...

Pet peeves with OS X

Yep, move it into the corner and drag the bottom right corner. But, OS X isn't Windows. There's absolutely no need to maximise windows in OS X.

You Call Yourself L33t And Your Using Windows?

No, with VB you'd do Linux <> Unix or NOT (Linux = Unix) :P Actually, Linux is a Unix clone, but like ReactOS is a Windows clone. It's not Unix based, it's a completely different OS that was copied from Unix, because Linus wanted a decent OS instead of Windows, that worked on an everyday PC...

The perfect notebook, does anyone make it?

Well, not yet anyway. I wonder what Apple has up it's sleeve for the new Intel iBooks.

Pet peeves with OS X

Even easier way to eject a cd that's stuck. Hold down the mouse button when you boot the computer (as soon as it turns on). OF is updated, via Software Update. Only Apple supplies it for macs.

You Call Yourself L33t And Your Using Windows?

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I read in the original post "try a unix flavour like Gentoo", or something like that. Gentoo is a linux distribution, not UNIX. Unix is stuff like Solaris, BSD, Mac OS X, etc. BTW, look at my sig and see what OSes I use :P

What do you guys like about the command line over a GUI?

If I want to get something done, and quickly (with the keyboard), I use the command line. I also use it for everything on my linux server which doesn't have a monitor connected.
