Re: [RP] ratpoison w/ mac

[Mark Eichin]

I mostly stopped using it a couple of years back, I'd suggest
google(mac virtual desktop) as a starting point.  (At the time there
was *nothing* that could switch screens as fast as ratpoison, but that
was a platform wide problem; allegedly that's helped significantly by
modern hardware...)

If you really like the ratpoison mode of operation, you should
seriously consider not buying a Mac in the first place... or at least
play with one for long enough to get a feel for the interaction model
that you're pretty much stuck with.
