Deep Notes
Deep Notes is a simple hierarchical note pad.
You can use it to outline ideas, make "to do" lists, or whatever
else might need jotting down in a list, hierarchical or not.
Its keyboard shorcuts were designed to let you edit, navigate and
control your outline without taking your hands off the keyboard, so
you don't have to interrupt your creative flow and can get on with
typing.

News:
The MacBook is
now available with a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. This is up from the
2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo available for the older models. The
processors of the new chips have also been upgraded to the Santa
Rosa architecture.
The new macbooks can now handle up to 4GB RAM, up from 2GB in the
previous models; the frontside bus has been increased to 800MHz
from 667MHz; and the graphics have been updated to the Intel GMA
X3100 with 144MB graphics allocation — previous models had the
Intel GMA 950 with 64MB.
MacBook Pro received a couple of upgrades too. If you choose a
custom build-to-order system, you can choose a 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo
processor and a larger hard
drive.

Leopard Time Machine:
Time machine allows you to keep up to date backups of your mac on an external hard drive. Time machine checks your system every hour for any changes and backs them up accordingly. Its as simple as hooking up and external drive and turning on time machine via the time machine preferences. Once activated you don't have to worry about it and if you have to unhook your external drive for any reason, time machine will stay on hold until you get back and then pick back up where it left off. Even if you use time machine I still recommend using a bootable backup system via superduper just in case.
