Since so many sites are doing in-depth reviews of Tiger, I will instead only post about the little treasures as I discover them.

    There is also when apps crash, the dialog box option to “Reopen” the first time and “Try Again” the second time followed with “New Settings”

    Sometimes it’s handy, but I don’t want to replace preferences to apps that have a nasty habit if crashing every time I try to quit them (ie. VLC, MPlayer, etc). There should be a system pane to modify this action.

    You show the nice new warning page Safari gives when it has problems with loading pages, but try disconnecting your internet connection and entering a domain name. WOW, very cool Apple. Dven my mom could find her way back to the WWW with that little wizard.

    Melvin,

    I just “partially” switched to mac because I got a free mac mini….could you do a blog post about the best software for a mac? I know what is good for a pc but am out of the loop when it comes to apple.
