This Mac thing is just a phase. Between the dominance of Windows and the energy of the open source desktops, it's hard to believe it will last. Nice hardware though - assuming it wears well.

VLC - http://www.artima.com/forums/flat.jsp?forum=276&thread=168152 Isn't it cheesy how Quicktime only shows video in a tiny window, and Microsoft doesn't provide a media player for the Mac anymore? This player plays almost anything, with full resizing.

Shell - Built in ;) - but iTerm - http://freshmeat.net/redir/iterm/49825/url_homepage/iterm.sourceforge.net - is better

Amusingly, the Mac has some of the most complicated and inconsistent keyboard shortcuts ever invented.
 
=== Type a directory location ===
 
- in the finder, and saving files using the default open/save dialog
 
Cmd-Shift G
 
=== Copy screenshot to clipboard ===
 
Cmd-control-shift-4 - press space if you want to switch to the "window" camera, then use the mouse to select your capture area.
 
== Peeves ==
 
Too many to list. Let's just say "overrated" is probably going to be the summary after a couple of weeks of dedicated use.
 
- An article on UI that pointed out how valuable edges are - so much easier to "select" than any screen area (since when you overshoot you've still got it) - really turned me onto the sensibilites of a good UI design. So why, then, are the shortcuts for ejecting a CD and opening the insipid Front Row located in these key positions? (the latter is miskeyed when using the switch-between-windows key)
 
- Cursor keys - different combinations in every app. Why?
 
- Frustratingly, the guideline of there being "no maximized windows" is upheld in apps such as firefox, where you can't "press f11 for full screen mode."
 
- Speaking of function keys...
