It seems a ton faster, though that might be 'cause I did a full format/reinstall.
Anyone who wants to turn off the disgusting huge reflective dock effect, use this command in terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES ; killall Dock |

| Tim, did you know Gmail are doing IMAP now? If you're lucky and your account has had it enabled (mine hasn't yet) that might work a little better. |

| The hilarious thing is it can't differentiate; I was connected to a share hosted on a linux machine and got the same icon :D |

| It definitely feels a lot snappier here. I'm gonna give it a go on my old iBook G4 later, wonder how that goes. |

I have a weird question someone might be able to answer: a friend of mine wants to dump his old iMac G5 on me for a ridiculously low price, it's still a capable machine (2ghz, 2gb ram) so I'm gonna take it and use my mini as a HTPC or something.
Anyone know if screen spanning doctor, i.e. the utility that lets you use dual monitors properly works? |

By default, in panther/tiger at least it mirrors whatever is on the first monitor rather than giving you a true second desktop, the app that changes this behavior hasn't been updated since tiger came out. |
