I got that 1ghz powerbook... I'm so happy ... and so in debt ....
anyway, I've never used a mac, so I have a couple of quick questions...
1) Is there something like task manager on a mac, where I can see the programs running, processes running, memory usage, cpu usage, close programs etc?
2) I noticed command+tab switches between applications. But how about if you have 3 browser windows open, for example, how can you switch between those quickly?
3) Can you reccommend a good text editing app? Something lightweight so it opens fast. Color coded syntax for HTML, Javascript or whatever your editing? Maybe macros for making HTML tags easier... ?
Thanks!

Lucky you with your new powerbook...enjoy.
The equivalent of the task manager is the process viewer
MacHD>Applications>Utilities>Pro... ViewerYou can move through browsers windows in Safari and Explorer with command + ~
BBedit is good for text/html etc

how about screen capture? I notice that there is a 'grabber' ... looks like some kind of screen capture, but it's always disabled...

I just scored a 1 ghz albook too, and am equally in debt. But here's what I do:
1) in the terminal window, type "top".
2) someone already said it.
3) vi. no colors, but i love it.

sorry...couldn't resist. :)
I have always been here
I have always looked out from behind the eyes
It feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime
Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way it has always been?
Could it ever have been different?
Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
Do you ever get tired of being in there?
Don't worry, nobody lives forever,
Nobody lives forever

option + click on the desktop to hide the current application. It's the most useful thing I ever done learnt.
