How many machines and OS's do you use? Steve uses 3 and 4 on a regular basis. I'd have to say 2 and 2 on a regular basis, 3 and 4 on occasion. At the last job I had Solaris and W2k, unix for real work and windows for communicating with others. I'm still using W2k for mail and most Radio posting. My OS X machine is primarily for programming, which means I use Classic, Mac OS 9.2, for debugging Codewarrior PPC apps (Mixmap). I used to use Mindterm on windows for SSH into my web hosting servers but now I use OS X for that, much better.

Some friends stopped by the other day and I was attempting to show off my new Mac. They said, "yeah, but what about that single button mouse, doesn't it drive you crazy?" So, just on a whim, I unplugged the Microsoft internet keyboard and Microsoft optical scroll mouse from my W2k machine and plugged them into the Mac (USB). Not only did they work immediately, but the scroll wheel and right button worked fine, no drivers needed. Would it be a dreadful faux pax to use Microsoft hardware on my Mac?

Now I need to find a good email app for OS X. Any suggestions for someone who doesn't want to spend money and is coming from MS Outlook 2000? ":^)
