I love the new Yahoo mail. It's rapidly becoming my primary mail system. Good spam blocking, great user interface, really works on all my computers/browsers. Gmail doesn't. And the Gmail UI is looking pretty pale compared to Yahoo's. Now we're in a sweet spot, possibly a very sweet spot. Two great development companies competing for our attention, and neither of them is Microsoft. Come to think of it, neither is Apple. Yahoo! 
I found a workaround for a display problem in the Mac version of the OPML Editor and wonder if it works for others.  
Also, last night while watching the coverage of Hurricane Rita on CNN and MSNBC, I did my first real programming on the Mac. Since my development environment is cross-platform, and since I was a Mac user for many years, the learning curve was practically non-existent. I found the experience very empowering. My first project was converting all the back-issues of DaveNet into a static archive. Most of the pieces were written in an outliner, so most of them can be saved in OPML. Not only do I want to create a permanent downloadable archive so this stuff doesn't get lost, it also forms a very large base of OPML documents for people to play with. This may be useful for people working on OPML search tools.
