Websites for fun Tiger tricks?
A friend of mine just bought a iBook (with Tiger, of course) and I've been showing him some of the tricks I have learned over the past year on my PowerBook 12", but can't possibly have shown him all I know, let alone what is even possible. He thought that the Active Corners feature was toooo cooool. I like being able to get such a reaction from people, especially since I'm a recent Mac-convert (a bit more than a year ago).

This is his first Mac, and I was just wondering if any of you could direct me to your favorite "oh, that's so cool that Tiger can do THAT" site. I've gleaned a lot of my info from various sites and a book or two, but was wondering if any of you had a single (or a few) indispensible "go to" sites for Tiger tricks for newbies (absolute as well as relative-newbies like me).

Thanks in advance.

1. Try this site
http://www.macosxhints.com/


If you want to find the path to an application, open the terminal (found in Applications) then drag and drop an application into the terminal. It will show the path. You can also call up a calender by typing cal (hit return) at the prompt. Try typing the word top (hit return) to see what is running on your computer. Hit q to stop it. clear will clear the old commands away.

Get Desktop Manager. http://desktopmanager.berlios.de/ It gives you virtual desktops. You can then set it to do neat things in transition to a different desktop. At the bottom of the page they have some video of the effects. http://desktopmanager.berlios.de/screenshots.php
