.
It handles PDF export internally (although every app that can print can
export PDF on the Mac).
Firefox and Thunderbird also run great on OSX. I prefer Thunderbird to
Apple's mail program, for the most part. But I tend to use Safari more
than Firefox.
I don't currently use any of the iLife apps but I'll give 'em another
look when I upgrade OSX in October.
This is completely off topic but I just performed my first standup
comedy set tonight. It went well, and was fun. And just to get it back
to computers, I wrote most of my standup set using my Psion handheld,
still a great little machine. :^)
