I'm especially interested in those small tweaks you use to make your daily life with the laptop more convenient, so I guess my question could be framed like this: "When you get your hands on a new powerbook, what are the first things you'd install, fix or change?" Any pointers will be appreciated, websites, where to get the latest working Emacs installation, whatever strikes you as worth mentioning. Thanks a lot in advance, and looking forward to your answers :) -- Bye: Andi S. mailto:mail@synchron.org
