    Fun stuff. I got mine yesterday and installed last night. So far, so
    good. One or two little quirks, but for the most part a painless and
    pleasant upgrade.

    My favorite thing so far: the combination of CUPS and Rendezvous. I
    installed on the desktop, told it to share its printer, installed on
    the laptop, went to print, and the printer attached to the desktop
    showed up in the laptop’s printer list automatically. Woah!

    The spam filtering is nice too. :)

    Initial impressions of Jaguar? It’s like OS X, only OS X’ier. Little faster and more responsive. iChat looks OK once you turn off the balloons. Having trouble telling the difference between the new anti-aliased font settings. Split terminal windows…Yum. Brushed metal look? Yuck. Make it stop.

    I’m shocked, but I’m actually running iChat in bubble mode. When
    someone’s picture is next to it, it’s a lot more… personal. It’s
    quite easy to follow along, but maybe that’s just because I read comic
    books obsessively for 6 years. hehe

    I guessed you might be, based on the little portrait you’re using now
    for your buddy icon. :)
    I like bubble mode pretty well, too. I like even more the fact that you
    can be logged into your messaging services by the iChat system menu
    without even having iChat open. When a message comes in, or you choose
    one of your buddies from the menu to send a message to, it just pops
    the app open for you. Nifty.

    Anxious for iSync, so that I can actually use the new Address Book in a
    meaningful way.

    I’ll probably give it another try. I think I’d really like it for actual chat rooms with more than 2 people. The left/right justification is what really throws me off about it, I think.
