This one’s particularly aimed at all you Mac geeks out there:  My Powerbook (running 10.3.5) has suddenly started assigning bizarre icons to new documents.  For instance:  if I download a JPG, the PB assigns it an iPod icon.  I downloaded a new copy of GraphicConverter, and the PB assigned the disk image the Activity Monitor icon.  What gives?

Eek!  I just downloaded and installed IE 5.2 for OS X, which counts among its improvements “support for the new Quartz text smoothing feature.” And boy, do things look smooth.  I’m deeply unsure how I feel about this.  For those of you* who don’t/can’t use IE 5.2 (and good for you), here’s a screenshot of the Quartz-ed up site.

What do you think?  I’m thinking I may have to sans-serifize things or risk looking too much like a word-processed church newsletter.

*This assumes, of course, that there is someone out there.  Which there is… Right?
