Linux 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.

Simple little things can kill your computing morale; I don't want to watch an icon bouncing up and down while an application starts; I want those extra cycles put to use to make said application start faster in the first place.

Ahh, how many minutes I have wasted^H^H^H^H^H^H spent admiring those bouncy icons as I wait for apps to start. But besides that, and in general laginess, I don't seem to mind OS X.
