Just picked one up, and loving it. I'm interested in learning how to customize it now, which is motivational in some sense. I'd love to start getting into skinning on the Mac, but, need to figure out all the tools and everything. Also, if you have any nice apps to recommend for OS X, let me know.

Can't wait to get Leopard now.

Awesome, thanks a ton man! What is the default format for mac icons? I had trouble changing a desktop folder icon yesterday, I used a .icns, .png, and .jpg but none of them would show up, only a file icon with ICNS written in it, or PNG and so forth. I ended up using a program called pic2icon and it converted it so it would show up. Just wanna know for future reference. I'll definetly give those other programs a try, gotta go download the GAIA suite now, been wanting to see it in all its Mac glory.
