STANDING OVATION

Yes, I am an unabashed Apple whore. Have been for years.

But this column is Dead Fricking On. No other company in any other industry would ever get away with it. Annoying.

What f_x said. :)

The biggest problem you'll have is unlearning the workarounds you've had to get used to in Windows. Basically, you can try just about anything without fear of it breaking anything, and secondly, it almost always works the way you would expect it to.

Oh, and drag and drop is *ubiquitous*. Have a Finder window open to a directory with an image file in it? Drag and drop it to a mail window to add it as an attachment. Or to a Keynote window to include it in a presentation. Or to an iChat window to send it to someone else via IM. Drag text from one app to another, or drag an image off a web page and plop it anywhere. This works across the system, between apps from just about any developer, not just the company that produced one particular suite.

It's almost, *gasp*, fun.

No, actually, it is.
