Last week I finally gave in and placed an order for a new 2Ghz MacBook Pro. Being a PC user all my life, this will be my first switch to working on a Mac environment. I chose the MacBook Pro for 3 main reasons;
- to test websites and work in a mac environment
- for portability (I currently don’t own a laptop)
- performance-wise it seems like it will have enough longevity to last me at least 3 years
Gearing up for this monumentous event, Ive been collecting bookmarks of Mac tips and tools I hope will be useful;
- Mac Icons, Screensavers
- Tada Lists Widget
- Bye Bye Dashboard
- GL Terminal
- TextPander
- Screenography, Record your screen
- Screenshots to the clipboard
- Spirit-Level Dashboard Widget
- Parallels Workstation
- PDF Lab
- Pairing your remote with your MacBook Pro
- SSH on Mac OS X for Worry-Free Wireless
- Spam Sieve
- Slim Server
- Pyro for Campfire
- Cocktail
- 10 essential Mac Apps
- Ruby on Rails Mac Development
- Xyle-Scope CSS Tool
- Magnolia Blossom
- Multi-Alarm
- KisMac
- Cocoa Mysql
And for people switching from Windows to a Mac, or for those trying Bootcamp (Windows on an Intel Mac)
