Damn, it's sweet. It's hard to describe the excitement of running the MacOS and being able to pull up a terminal window running csh. Being able to run emacs is the icing on the cake. My girlfriend thinks I'm partially insane now I suppose... but she's somewhat used to me acting like Professor Frink now and again.

The visual effects of the dock are quite impressive too. Magnification and rescaling are smooth. And the way minimized apps shrink down towards the dock is fun. The support for display postscript also has me intrigued. I think I need to test out more apps with it. Waking up from sleep is also quite quick, atlhough some have complained about power consumption in sleep mode. I think there are still some difficulties to be worked out, since sleeping is a somewhat foreign concept to UNIX.

My only real complaint is that the beta doesn't include Airport support, so I can't use it on the wireless network at home (unless I disconnected the base station from the DSL modem). Maybe I'll get to try its networking out sometime at work today.
