At Home with John and Debbie

My Apple stuff’s been shipped, so I suppose I’ll receive it on Tuesday. Dratted bank holidays!

Ars Technica has just published a gloriously technical overview of Mac OS X Tiger. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable about my forthcoming Mac experience, by being very Unix-y indeed:

% ls -la
...
-rwxrwxrwx   1 john  john    4096 Mar 24 22:09 ._file2
-rwxrwxrwx   1 john  john      15 Mar 24 22:09 file2

Boom. Instant dot-underscore file. (Now there’s a demo you’ll likely never see Jobs do in a keynote presentation.)

So that’s 201 new features!
