Coming from years of Windows and Linux experience (I am currently a Linux sysadmin), Mac OS X is a breath of fresh air. It combines the raw power of Unix with a beautiful interface, and, best of all, everything seems to just work out of the box—no configuration, no hassle, no mess.

My only complaint is the lack of a integrated package management system for all software (not just the stuff in Fink & DarwinPorts), but to be fair, nobody has implemented that for commercial software on any platform yet, and probably never will.

I read the whole “trilogy in five parts”, and loved it. The third book was a little weird/hard to follow, though.

1. Visit http://www.43things.com/things/people/212?view=done
2. Click on the “next page ->” link
3. Notice that you are no longer seeing “People who’ve done this”, but have reverted to “People doing this” instead.
4. Manually change the brower address from:
   http://www.43things.com/things/people/212?start_at=51
   to
   http://www.43things.com/things/people/212?start_at=51&view=done
5. Now it works :)
6. Hey, look, Boris Mann thought buying a Powerbook was worth doing. And Boris Mann is a cool guy, so it must be true. ;)
