Off Topic:

I don't have an addendum per se, but a tip that many Mac users overlook that gives PC users the impression their machines are faster in the "real world."

Does the speed at which your Delete key backspaces over text seem slow, or does your cursor seem to crawl its way through your text documents when using the arrow keys? Do you wish it was faster? The solution is simple, go to the Keyboard control panel and set your Key Repeat Rate to the fastest setting and the Delay Until Repeat to slow or the next higher notch. You'll be amazed at how much faster your cursor will fly over text when moving around or deleting it (Key Repeat Rate), and you won't have to wait so long for it to start the process once you press a key (Delay Until Repeat). Apple's default settings are somewhere in the middle for both until you change them.

Note: If you zap the PRAM on your Mac, you'll have to reset these two settings, as that is where they are stored.
