Living in Outlook on parallel running windows on a mac. does it really work? will I hate it once I switch?

also, what about World of Warcraft? i mean, a guy can’t read his email all night in those hotel rooms.

Hey, my friend, you can just create a new folder, and put your frequent use apps’ alias (shortcuts) in it, then drag and drop the folder to the Dock’s right side, then you can just click + hold the icon you just dropped to launch your other apps which you don’t want them be list on the left side of Dock.

Furthermore, to make Dock more beautiful, you can customize the folder’s icon.

Why you miss the stupid “Start” button on windows? You click then a bundle of things turn out like a big flower? Com’on, life is beautiful, don’t face to shit everyday….

Actually, command-click on ANY document window’s title, and you’ll see that document’s path pop up (unless it is an unsaved document, of course). Selecting any folder from this menu will open a Finder window of that folder, with its child in the path being automatically selected (i.e., if you click in the menu on the folder containing your doc, the folder will open and the icon of your document will be selected, making it very easy to find it).
Very useful.

Re : dragging files to a hidden Finder window
As has been said, you can use Exposé or hover the dragged file over any visible part of the background window. In both cases, if you want to avoid the 1/2 second delay that exists before the window get to the foreground, hit the spacebar.

as to the Wireless configuration i use a dashboard widget called “airport” i keep it open all the time in case i need to search for hotspot points. having it in the middle of my dashboard makes it easy to see as i just drag my mouse to one of my “hot corners” and my dashboard pops right up.

i do know what you’re saying about organizing your music in the folders…you can easily mess it up if you do it that way (i know because i have done it). it is best to use itunes and make the necessary changes through each songs info, although if you purchase all of your music through itunes i would imagine that life would be simpler on that front. i love itunes i use it non-stop and i wouldn’t have it any other way. (although, i just downloaded the new version and don’t exactly see the difference.)

i have no problem with iphoto…i actually like how iphoto organizes my photos in the folder…by date of upload.

an uninstall app is probably the only thing i think is missing from the apple menu

the switch will take some adjustment, but you’ll get used to it. i made my switch 6 years ago and i haven’t looked back.

Put a space as the first character for the folder’s name.

AppZapper ($15) http://www.appzapper.com is a perfect little single-function app that does one thing: helps you un-install apps. It finds p-lists and other debris associated with apps.

Overflow ($15) http://www.stuntsoftware.com might help with infrequently used applications. That is one of the ways I use it. For example, I have a category in Overflow called Music and in it I have all my music-related apps.
