I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

Well, isn't Mac OS X supposed to run "well" without tweaking? Isn't that what apple has aimed for? "It just works"?
I'm thinking if I tried Mac OS X and found the same performance issues, I would have also guessed that there wasn't much to do about it since Apple seems to try and have it all working automagically perfect from the very start or at least, that's what has been implied.
