Mac

[cellio]

My Mac Mini arrived Friday, faster than I expected. In an act of will I did not punt my congregation's Friday-evening services, attendance at which required starting Shabbat two hours early, to play with it (and go somewhere else later). I did verify that a VNC server is running on my PC and reachable from my laptop, so I can skip the dual-monitor/keyboard/mouse-on-one-desk setup. So now, off to rearrange bunches of hardware and load up a new machine.

If you've got favorite Mac tips & tricks, sites, software, etc, please feel free to share. I've used an iBook (running Tiger) casually, but as a main machine it's new to me.

I use my thumb for it as well (M$ ergonomic keyboard), but I often do not keep my hands on the standard baseline. Trying it out it seems like I rotate my left hand clockwise a bit and drop it one row down and one column out towards the edge when doing lots of cut/paste operations.

I'll second the Synergy recommendation from above if you do want to use both computers at once easily, although a few people where I work prefer to run Xming on the Windows box and just use native XWindows to deal with the multiple monitors.
