Apple does it again!
I recently upgraded to Tiger, the latest version of the Macintosh operating system and I have to say, it's quite impressive. With more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at (how many is that, anyway?), it does everything but my laundry. I now have a handy "dashboard" with "widgets" that do all kinds of things for me: my Wikipedia widget circumvents actually having to go out to the web to look something up, my dictionary/thesaurus widget saves me the trouble of picking up either in book form, and my weather widget effectively renders channel 31 (the Weather Channel) useless... unless I want to check on the latest hurricane. One new program, Automator, is supposed to automate (hence the name) many tasks that I already do in a given day. I'm hoping that I can teach it to pop up and freshen my water every once in a while!
