Tiger is great!
I still haven't received my copy of Mac OS X 10.4 from Apple yet! Even though they mailed on Saturday, 30 April to me. But, they did send me an email last Friday explaining how I could download it from their servers. So 2.7 GB and one DVD later I was able to install Tiger.
It's an excellent update. My PowerMac G4/500 runs smoother. While Spotlight isn't blindingly fast on my 5 yr old Mac, it is extremely quick and useful. Logging in and out is also much faster under Tiger.
Surprisingly, I'm using Dashboard widgets far more than I thought I would. I first wrote this feature off as eye candy. But it's quite useful. Kiel's off to SF for WWDC 2005 soon, so I can set up the weather and time widgets to tell me what the day's like in SF. The 6 day forecast in the weather widget is useful to Arriane too, being a washing nazi, but she's convinced it's not accurate. As if weather forecasts have every been accurate!
Well that's all for the moment. I'll try and write again soon. Actually, I should try out that Blogger Dashboard widget I've read about. That might encourage me to post more often :-)
