Actually, the Mac arrived on Saturday, but I haven’t had a chance to unpack it. Now I’ve actually opened the box and turned it on. It’s a joy to look at, outside as well as inside. I’ve never had that feeling with a computer before.

But I really feel like a novice: I don’t know how stuff works, I lose my windows, I’m sometimes not sure whether an application is running or not (or whether it even matters) and I know no keyboard shortcuts.

Now comes the hard slog of migrating all my documents (mostly photos), my RSS and mail archives, and my bookmarks. But not today.

I considered switching to Mac Mail, but now I’m leaning towards keeping Opera after all, mostly because no straightforward migration path seems to exists. And I’m very used to Opera, and quite happy with it. Perhaps I’ll look again later, after I’ve moved everything from the PC to the Mac. Or I might keep just my archives in Opera and use Mail for all new stuff?
