<things about Macs I didn't know>
Thats really distressing. I no longer have a valid reason to dislike Macs :-) They fixed the two things I really hated. Gnash.

Heh. I'm typing this on my G3Pismo running Panther :) I'd have to say that I hate em all, Macs, Pcs running *nix or windoze. They all conspire to make my worklife and homelife miserable.
But.. the real reason I write... Mac has finally clued in by adding alt-tab (apple-tab really) app switching, and in Panther, even adding the little bar that pops up showing all the apps and which one you're on and which one you're going to once you release the keys (i.e., win alt-tab functionality as opposed to alt-esc).
I will be happier with mac however when I no longer have to use the mouse all together. Where ever pulldown has a hot letter that you can alt-letter to open the menu and then each item inside has a hot-letter to select and expand it, etc. I want this as part of the OS, not an extension written by someone else. I hate using photoshop on Mac where I have to mouse drag where I normally alt-i-i to open image size, or alt-i-c for canvas size, or alt-i-p to crop, or to do any transformations, etc. Also, when I can tab through ever button in a dialog box, or alt-letter to a button, and in browsers when I can tab to every field and keyboard my way to things in option form items.... Then I'll be happier.
