Switched to Mac :)


My long awaited MacBook Pro 15'' 2.2 GHz finally arrived. It's really a pleasure to work with OS X. Everything runs smoothly from the first moment on and works as I expect it to work. I simply love it ;)

There were just a view problems I faced at the beginning, which likely nearly every windows-mac switcher stumbles upon:
Cmd + Q is the command to quit an application, which is at a position, where I habitural typed an @ (Alt + Q) on a windows keyword. After 10-15 times unintentionally killing an application, I think that I got it now ;-)

Here some really recommendable tools I use:
  • VMWare Fusion
    Need it primary for office and to test things on Windows and IE
  • Cyberduck
    Great FTP/SFTP Tool
  • AdiumX
    The leading chat client
  • Marco Polo
    Great when you have different network settings in different locations
  • of course: TextMate

Just ran across your blog (from script.aculo.us) and wanted to recommend Quicksilver on the mac - serious efficiency if you're a keyboard person. Cheers.
