[Boston.pm] OT: Favorite Mac OS X utilities

[Drew Taylor]

Sorry for the OT post, but I know there are lots of OS X users on this list. :-)

I've recently gotten a Mac OS X (10.2.3) box up & running. It's a beige G3 running at 266MHz (not too bad w/ 400+MB of RAM). Now I'm trying to make the Switch. I've read Pogue's "Missing Manual" and found it very helpful. My primary questions now are:

1. Are there any local Mac mailing lists? I'm subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] already.
2. What are your favorite/must have utilities?
3. Are you using Mail for email? Plusses & minuses are welcome.
4. More in-depth books than "Missing Manual". Hints on hardware especially helpful.
5. Sources of mac hardware/reviews. I still can't believe the premium I have to pay for a "Mac" video card...
6. Any other tips for a windows convert.

Thanks for your help!

Drew
