I love spaces and I like how it works, I just don't like that I have to hold down the FN Key + w/e key I set. Is there any way to set spaces to a key like the exposé key works? I don't use the dashboard (i hate it to be truthful, but I hate dashboards/widgets on any OS), can I set spaces to the dashboard key?
I use the mail app that comes with OS X is there any other mail application that beats this in functionality? I don't much care for Thunderbird so that's not really considered an upgrade to me, any others?
Temperatures with F@H is also a concern to me, when running, most temperatures are above 100ºF and the CPU is about 145ºF when the room temperature is around 68-70ºF. Is this a safe operating temperature for my mac to be at all the time, as I leave F@H running when I'm not using my mac.
I have noticed that my mac can be a Wifi hotspot is I so choose, anyone here have any experience using that? I think I could use it to extend the WiFi throughout my house so maybe my game consoles can have more than 1 bar of signal from my router.
I'm might be creating some video tutorials on how to do some coding, anyone have any recommendations on a good screen recorder, I couldn't find one included with OS X (though I wouldn't doubt if I just missed it, it does have a lot of awesome things included).
If there are any coders here, what IDE's do you use, which do you think are the best. I am using TextMate right now, I plan on buying it if I can't fund anything better.
On the note that I code, I plan on creating applications for OS X and possible Linux/Win. I see how easy it is to use Boot Camp to boot into a Win environment, however, I don't see anything on how to boot into Linux. Is my best bet just to do my Linux testing in a virtual machine?
Last question, is there any absolutely amazing software I should know about? Maybe something you couldn't live without on your mac.
I have an iMac 24" if that makes any difference.
I have been using my mac for a week now, and I must say, this is by far the best spent money ever, for me anyways. I love my mac and wonder how I ever used M$ for all those years. I'm now trying to convert anyone I know to a mac user. Productivity on my mac is way above what is was when I used M$.
