Now that I’ve finally (after years and years) got a Powerbook, I’m compiling a list of everything I want to do with OSX that I’ve never been able to do before with Windows. At least easily, and without having to install multiple development environments.

What to Do With My New Powerbook

-Install and start using Quicksilver.

-Learn to program with Ruby.

-Put all my old CDs and mp3s into an iTunes library.

-Create and use widgets.

-Become a l33t Terminal user.

-Get an iLife.

There’s got to be tons more. If you’re a Mac Cultist, and you know something else I should do with my new Powerbook that I can’t do (easily) with Windows, send ideas to me at mike@mikeschramm.com and I’ll put them up here.

The highly respectable Ben adds:

“-use an operating system that doesn’t crash

-get pissed off when programs that run on windows don’t run on mac [mike: one of the only things I will really, really miss about windows]

-match your ipod with your computer

-watch Steve Jobs eagerly as he presents new gadgets every quarter that you will be tempted to buy”

Although I argue that last one doesn’t require owning a Mac. Anyone can drool over Apple’s new stuff anytime they want.
