I suddenly came across this old post from 2004 in which I explained my early experiments in OS X. Now after being a hardcore OS X user for more than a year, I found how much the world has changed since. The Firefox is a really usable browser now and IM clients are up to date. I still hate iChat for no good reason. Maybe because I hate IM on the whole.
And guess what. My favorite OS X app is Terminal.
In fact OS X offers an intuitive interface that is very usable and hassle-free. I would call it a real productivity booster. Beside the interface, the OS itself is based on a mature BSD skeleton, and as a Unix fanatic and really enjoy poking around OS X.

I seriously urge you to switch to Mac if you care about your productivity and performance.

   Do you use QuickSilver? Once you start using it you get addicted to it.

   Thanks for your posts, I always enjoy reading them

   I always use Mac OSX as Desktop system and FreeBSD/OpenBSD as Server/Firewall.

   Im so happy whit this tandem and i cant need (for now) to use Windows or Linux.

   Well ocasionally i use Gentoo GNU/Linux as a Xen Server Machine. xDDDDD

   Best Regards.
