My first experiences with OS X weren't the best (these were back in the 10.0 days). It is very different from even OS 9, so I can only guess what it feels like coming from the Wind…

Check with the parks service before going camping etc. They normally post bear warnings. Especially this time of year if there are cubs around. I was confronted by 3 grizzlies wi…
