A theme on this blog is going to have to be computers and how they affect the academic study of the Bible–because that’s a theme with me.
But we’ve got to be irenic. No sarcastically cute videos. Just the humble facts for those who really want to know.
So here’s a list:
QuickLook
Spotlight
iLife integration: iCal with Address with Mail
Built-in camera and mic
Similar menus for all Apple programs
Stronger core architecture; far fewer restarts than my old Dell
Installing programs is so much easier and cleaner
Apps installed in one spot means easier upgrades
Hot corners, Dashboard, Expose, Spaces
Keyboard shortcuts easily manageable and adjustable
Quicksilver (!)
Good looks inside and out
Drag and drop on springloaded everything
Switch keyboard layouts quickly for Greek and Hebrew typing
iWeb and iPhoto make you look good with little work
Tons of well-designed freeware apps
Easily put any folder in Finder sidebar
OS comes with screenshot shortcuts–very handy
Stacks
Well-engineered keyboard
