I'm new too, just bought a G4-Powerbook and OS/X. Very happy. My wife

returning to its been interesting.

I agree, the documentation needs a bit of work, but boy am I glad that
they included it all. I was so happy not to have to buy another set of
big-white-books-that-dont-always-fit-on-the-shelf for developing. Having
everyone on a CD, including the development tools I thought was a big
step. I hope they keep updating it both on a CD, ADC, and there
website. I am actually putting a lot of hope in the O'Reilly book
coming out -- another good sign IMHO.

From my local Compu-bookshop I hear they should have it by end of
