Sorry to chime in late but I have been away for the weekend :) Just a couple of points...
1) There are many desirable aspects of OS-X and as 15+year user of pre- OSX MAC operating systems I was worried about culture shock ... which didn't really happen... The interesting thing is that one of the most important improvements in OS X in my opinion is that multi-tasking is finally real. I can print on the printer without slowing my system to a crawl. Dialog windows are no longer modal...i.e. do an OPEN or SAVE dialog in one program and click out to work in another program with those dialogs still open......I believe these are the aspects of OS-X that have so much improved my experience. 2) With respect to PM, it is a bit difficult. I have clearly given up a lot of features to use PM...but I really don't miss most of them. I really like the "SCHEDULE" features of PM. Given that I travel a lot and find myself in many different places and different ways of connecting to the internet, this is a big win for me. But, of course, there are several features that I would like to see in PM... /lss -- Larry S.
