It's not really consistent enough (yet). It's got a lot better with 10.1 and the 'full kb access' options but I'd love to see to a consistent way to navigate a) between apps b) between windows of apps. > > > > Aqua OS X 10.1 is really fast on newer Macs.

The new powerbooks have the faster bus (says the perons who's got a G4 500 powerbook and a bad lust for a 667) and a far, far faster graphics card. I don't see a lot of difference between my 450 cube and my 500 powerbook - but the cube has triple the RAM of the powerbook so... I suspect the radeon in the 667 made all the difference :) And on a vaguely related perl related topic... has anyone upgraded Perl on OS X? I want to do it but I've blown up os X too many times recently and want to know someone else has made it work first. nic
