[request] New Settling Into Macosx Thread

i'll start things off for this thread.

adium is a rockin' aim client, it has a single window interface which makes laptop instant messaging just awesome :rock:

one quick question, does anyone know how to speed up the grey "apple logo" startup screen? my roommate says this is where it scans your hd or something, is it possible to turn this off or anything?

p.s.: i started this thread because the last thread was taha posting neat utils, then it turned into discussion and not utils/apps
