There are some people who are working on alternative file browsing/organization schemes... Mainly, it's WinExplorer replacements right now, but it shows you're definitely not the only one who isn't satisfied with what's available.

Like iPhoto/iTunes, but for more different types of files?

I think I've heard of that software somwhere before. It's called... hmmm ... AH HA! THE FINDER!!!

Delete-Option-Command-Shift : Boot from any available startup device (cycles through HDD's, USB, Firewire, and optical drives looking for a System Folder)

www.cocoadevcentral.com and www.oriellynet.com/mac are my personal favorites. Also, ther is PLENTY of Cocoa technical documentation at http://developer.apple.com/cocoa . Have fun!

And an Aqua interface for Cron (call it the Timer or something)... And an interface for server clustering in OS X Server (I understand Apple has kick-*ss clustering technology, and they just haven't built an interface yet)...

And the ability to organize the Dock like is possible with the Finder toolbar. So I can use, like, 3 separators with apps in one section, documents/folders in another, and minimized stuff in a third, with the Trash in a fourth section all by itself. (Or better yet, put the Trash on the desktop...

A preference so I can use [Shift] for noncontiguous multiple selection and [Command] for contiguous selection, like in MacOS9, rather than the other way around (like in Windows). I get the impression Apple changed this so Windows converts would fell more at home. I happen to think that [Shift]...

Can you make a PDF with all the info? I'm really into X mods, but I have to use my PC to browse the internet because AOL and my PB Bronze Keyboard don't get along too well. I would just get Stuffit Expander but I still wouldn't be able to run a Cocoa app on Win98.

You can use a Mac as a base station already... I think you check the "Enable Software Base Station" box in Airport software.
