I really need to get on finding Mac copies of both of those. Do you know if they are expensive to acquire these days?
Here's my eMac dock since it's the one I'm on at the moment, I'll post my PowerBook dock later (though it isn't much different anyway.
)
Sorry, Sim City is actually Sim City 4 Rush Hour, not 3000. I'm pretty sure you can still get both on Amazon. Sim City isn't really that good IMO (I love SC2000) and this one is really hard. RCTycoon is great, but you'll want a fast Mac to play it on. It is PowerPC native, but even my quad G5 with Radeon X1900 can get bogged down with some of the graphics. It doesn't play well at all on Intel Macs, so they made an Intel only version later on which is called Platinum.I really need to get on finding Mac copies of both of those.

You have some interesting icons in there.I really need to get on finding Mac copies of both of those. Do you know if they are expensive to acquire these days?

Ah, I see. I actually have SC 4 on my eMac, but I've never actually played it past the tutorial.
I was raised on SC 3000 Unlimited, which I do have in the Windows version (along with RCT, actually) but I have always wanted to keep Windows as little a part of my computing needs as possible. But the more I look into it, the more keeping Windows around even if only for gaming makes sense.I can only assume you're referring to TenFourBird and Skitch (the icon of which doubles as my avatar here), as I don't see a whole lot of people using either anymore. TenFourBird is a great PPC email client based on Mozilla Thunderbird, while in truth the Skitch icon only sticks around because I like the design. (I don't even think it works on PPC anymore, every time it gets opened it just asks you to update and closes)
As promised, here's my PowerBook dock finally. It's, uh, simple.

What is the icon by System Preferences?
Ah, no trouble.
It is fun finding new PowerPC apps to try out! Thanks.
I normally turn the 3D effect on the dock off, since it helps with animations when using leopard on my Quicksilver. I also tend to keep my dock clean, and it mainly has only core applications that I use. I'm not on the machine, but I will post a picture as soon as I can.
I always use the 3D dock, (assuming I am using Leopard or later) but for some reason I have decided to use the 2D one on my PMG5. I thought it kind of went with things, if you guys catch my drift. Special things to point out: I have Final Cut Express 7, iMovie '06, (the last good version of iMovie) and iChat. I cannot stress enough how good iChat is. It's the best client ever; Apple perfected video/audio chats, which is something that nobody really did. In fact, many clients still haven't done it/gotten it right. It's way better than Skype and uses AIM and several other popular choices. Not sure why there are alternatives to iChat, such as Adium. Adium is just iChat without the video/audio chat and screensharing functions. Anyway, I usually keep things on my docks in this similar order. The internet applications are generally grouped to the left side, such as Mail, iChat, and web browsers. I then put work before play, with Text Edit then my word processor, then adding in iTunes and YouView. I then usually have editing software afterwards, as well as things like MacTracker and Preview. Next up I have handy tools, such as Dictionary and Calc. Photo Booth usually finds its way somewhere before or after, followed by some extra things. On this computer, those extra things are Screenflow, Image Capture, and Docker. Towards the end, before the separator, I have my Utilities. That includes Disk Utility, Terminal, Activity Monitor, and then System Prefs. I can't remember whether I usually put Prefs before Terminal and Activity Monitor, but I guess it varies. I like how it is currently. On the other side of the separator, I like to keep Documents and Downloads. If on an earlier version of MacOS than Leopard, I just have the Trash there by itself. I go by this way of organization on every Mac that has OSX; I have used this set-up procedure on tons of computers which I have used in the past and own. Obviously it's not exact among all my computers, but it usually goes something like this!

xD A first-time Mac user: I don't know about you guys, but I keep my Finder application open... all the time.
