I switched - from OS 9 to OS X that is.

When OS X first launched I installed it on my wallstreet G3 laptop with dismal results. A blown kernel resulted in emergency support services while in Tokyo. An expensive and highly irritating few days. Apple was kind enough to tell me later that one should do a clean install of OSX and then install 9 - there was no such thing as an OSX 'upgrade'. Fortunately, data was recovered - but I'd avoided OS X until I had no choice. I needed a new machine!

Well, my shiny new Titanium G4 arrived a week ago and I am in love. OS X is sexy - once you figure out how to calm down that stupid dock. And while I do miss some of my favorite key commands (screen captures and tabbing between apps specifically) I am enamored by the stability and performance of this OS.
