Hi,
I am still very new to OS X, I have just tried it a bit, but can't wait to really try out it's stability!!! I see that Tiger has been mentioned, and some obviously wait buying a new 'Book in order to get Tiger into the deal. Do you know what will be the difference to the current OS (Panther?). I see that many upgrade their system "all the time". I haven't done that over the years, just occasionally, when I really have needed to, e.g. because of software, or I have got an upgrade with a new PB. For those of us that use our 'Book for "every day use" (in my case: Lots of net/mail, word processing, some image/graphics stuff and a bit of web design), does it "pay off" to "jump on the upgrade carousel"? How much of a difference does it normally make? Right now, how much of a difference is expected with Tiger compared to Panther?
I used to use Netscape for a browser, but ended out having a lot of trouble with it, so I changed to IE. In IE I appreciate features like the Auction Manager (even if it is not very stabile, it suddenly empties itself into "Auction Fav's"), but there are clearly things I miss, e.g. being able to manage the bookmarks better. I once, years ago, tried Opera on a PC, and joined the Opera Project Magic in order to get them to make a Mac compatible browser. I tried installing a beta quite maybe a year ago, but it didn't work out on my Pismo. I don't know how the OS X version is, do any of you use it? How about Apple's Safari? How does Netscape work with OS X? I am wondering what you guys use, and how happy you are with the different options the browsers have. Do you guys know of some additional application which work great in combo with any browser to manage auctions (eBay etc.)?
For a mail reader, I have used Eudora Pro (with ads) the past few years. I don't know if I should go for that on the new iBook. Can I import the mailboxes, address book etc. from the sys 9.2 PB to the new one? What do you guys use, and what do you think is the advantages with it. Whatever I use has to have simple filter options, possibility for multiple accounts, search possibilities etc.
For news, which I don't use often anymore though, I have used MacSOUP. When I chose it, it was much because it was the only decent offline reader for the Mac. But since I got broadband via cable, I guess I have more possibilities... Any ideas?
Any input is appreciated!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Aase :)
