Anyone here try it out yet? I tried to sign up, but it seems like Quark is sharing server space with the macnn forums...

I downloaded it last night. Haven't had but a few minutes to check it out. Initial observations: • New bounding box treatment – feels fresh and new but it's nothing special or hel…
