Mac Book Pro grievances

It's been a while since I've posted and lots has happened since then.

Lost my job again in the mean time, management issues.

But it led me to finally buy a Mac Book Pro!
I was doubting between the 15" and 17" and if you're looking to take
it with you a lot and work from it in a hammock, buy the 15".
The 17" is a bit big, and when you put it on your lap with your legs
up, the screen closes (gravity).

Also for the first time in long I'm using Mac OS X instead of Linux.
It's a beautiful experience with some minor discomforts.
Everything is integrated, you can drag and drop everything that's nice.

Sometimes it hangs and then your preferences might get corrupted. Had
it a couple of times already. Sucks. So back them up.

Also when you copy your firefox directory from Linux to Mac you might
get some problems with downloads. Things get downloaded allright but
when you try to open for example a dmg (disk image) you will get
"codec overrun" or "no images found" or something along those lines.

That was solved by creating a clean profile and installing all your
extensions and copying the bookmarks and signons.txt and key3.db and
such.

Once you get used to Tab Mix Plus you cannot really use Safari or Camino.

For Office you can use a forked version of Open Office called Neo Office.

If you want to play around with some unix utilities you can install fink which let's you do
apt-get install and such.
Easy to get Xdarwin running.

I'm still discovering and it looks pretty good.
If you want to start coding go to developer.apple.com and get Xcode.

I'm still looking for utils to play with my satellite receiver from the mac.

We'll find them or write them!
