What a great list of Mac things to do!

I make all but 29! Its especially fun to put the Kernel Panic screensaver on my mac, then people around will be like OMFG your mac crashed. And ill be like well... on a mac you can just hist escape and it will continue to run.  Then people will look in amazement as you walk over to your mac and uncrash it. I also love my dashboard, its frikken win. although my mac is so 2001. It can still run most things as a new one can. People always think its like 2 years old. Because of 1. How it performs and 2. it looks newish as PC's copy mac design. My Home workhorse is a PM G4 QuickSilver which i run Leopard on.
