Charles on… anything that comes along

Yes, I know - why didn’t I post this much earlier? Because I’ve been away for a pleasant Bank Holiday weekend with the family, that’s why.

Anyway, my exclusive review of Tiger is at Macworld and includes - since I think you might not find them anywhere else - Top Ten Tiger Treats you might otherwise miss, and Top Ten Tiger Traps you should watch out for (such as that it will overwrite any Apache or Postfix settings you had.. oops, that’s two gone).

Your comments, except the commercial ones, welcome as always. Your experiences too.

Update: what I said in the review about how it would be developers, developers, developers, and that there’d be whole ecosystems around Spotlight, Dashboard and Automator is being borne out already. Apple’s own web pages show dozens of the things already: third-party Spotlight plugins, Dashboard widgets, and Automator actions (including a UK train timetable widget - wizzo).
