A kind of scottish fruit

I got myself a new toy last Friday. I'm still getting used to it, but once I migrate my e-mail to it, I think it's going to be my main box. I hate to shun Linux, but I'm tired of Things Not Working because I Bought Hardware from Evil Vendors Who Support Only Windows on Intel. I might try putting Linux (and OpenDarwin) on this puppy, but maybe down the road.

I do still have a few questions, though. I'm using iTunes to sort out my music collection, and I'll probably use it as my main jukebox app. What does the "Sound enhancer" actually do? I tried playing with it, and it sort of applies an Aphex Aural Exciter effect. But what's it actually doing? All Google gives me is press releases saying that this feature is wonderful, and articles telling you how to turn it off.

In Firefox, when I go to the dropdown in the address bar, why do all the site names show up as Chinese characters? This isn't a showstopper, since I usually go by URL, but it is kinda confusing.

How come Darwin Ports sucks? I mean, apart from it being a package manager and all.

I was going to wonder what sort of desktop switching there is available, but I found what looks like a good app for that.
