    A little word about profanity

    What the hell? I don't need some professional dick telling me how to post! If you don't want swearing then write a script to clean it up. Otherwise, go fu[k yourself. I'll be damned if I'm going to listen to some prudish, "family values" man pimping his morality on me. Sometimes profanity...

    Maybe I'm a moron, but here's what I am doing...

    You are nuts, man. Stick with the 500 MHz iBook2. It is a far better package than the older iBook. Display: Better resolution, beautiful picture compared to the older iBook. Motherboard: Your iBook has a faster bus (100 MHz vs. 66 MHz). Combined with the faster CPU, you WILL...

    iPod has CONTACTS feature and EQUALIZER!

    Excellent move on the EQ addition. Too bad about the price, though. Who the hell would pay $500 for an MP3 player? One can buy an entire COMPUTER for only a bit more than the most expensive iPod. Apple should take notice of that.

    Imac Price increase

    Apple missed a golden opportunity to increase their market share with the new iMac. If they could have met the initial demand, then momentum would have carried the iMac sales for some time. Now Apple has chosen to decrease demand rather than meet it, meaning less market share. An...

    Partitioning: Pro's & Con's

    I've got my 20 GB OS X drive divided into 3 partitions. Both the OS 9 and OS X systems are installed on their own partitions, and I have devoted a third partition to documents and classic applications (OS X native apps work better if installed on the same partition as OS X). The benefits of my...

    Help Me! Mac Os X Gets Faster And Faster!

    •Use only list view, and make sure that you don't have many subdirectories. Put all your files in the same folder and navigate with list view. •Open a few Quicktime movies, set them to play in a loop, and then play the all at once. Then minimize them all into the dock. You get to watch...

    The BIG OS 10.2 thread...

    This is such bullsh!t. You can have as many Apple menus as you like in the dock, with exactly the same functionality. Here's how: 1. Make a folder, and fill it with aliases to all of your apps. 2. Paste a custom icon on the folder so you can tell what it is. 3. Put the...

    Best 3rd party utilities for OS X...

    Most of you should just go back to OS 9...after all the utilities you use are all aimed at making OS X behave like OS 9. Yuck. BTW, if you want to switch to an application and have all its windows come forward, then just click on it's icon in the dock. As someone who uses multiple...

    I want multiple Docks, but until then...

    Why not put the dock on the left side and drop folders in it? You can set it to auto-hide if you like, too. I've got four folders in mine, three filled with application aliases, and one folder is an alias to my documents folder so I can instantly access any document on the HD. I pasted...

    Removing "kext" kernel extensions

    Might as well leave them in case you need them in the future. They don't take up much HD space, and OS X only loads them when needed. Habits from using OS 9 are no longer useful. These extensions aren't like OS9's, where the fewer, the better.

    Can I erase these files without causing major damage?

    You should be able to trash the Norton files. Just make sure that the creation date of the files coincides with the time you used Norton, then trash them, reboot and make sure everything works, then empty the trash. I know that Tecth Tool Pro is always leaving big invisible files on my HD...

    Speedier Window Openings

    I tried this a while back and no difference, but I have 576 MB RAM so maybe that's why. Isn't this feature on by default in 10.1.2?

    Amazing thing about the new iMac, Im overjoyed!!!

    wow the low end iMac is a great value, even better than most Wintels. Apple has been improving their products' value lately, i noticed. Very cool.

    yep, m$ is the best alright. industry standard for sure

    Funny, all the Windows drones at ZDnet are replying to the article complaining they have no alternative to IE! LOL! That's what they get for buying their OS from a monopoly. Yet another reason why being a mac user is so great.

    How to launch a script on startup?

    As an alternative to the startup items, you could open the login preference panel and add the script to login items startup list. That way it runs whenever you log in.

    Drive Repair Utilities

    Are defragging and optimization utilities really necessary with OS X? I've heard that OS X doesn't need any of this routine maintenance, since cron runs background processes at intervals to keep the file system in good shape. But I'm no authority on OS X so I don't know for sure.

    tired of this CRAP

    You could just copy only the visible files to the windows computers at your office, and that way they don't get the .ds file. Use a utility to make the finder show invisible files, I use one called "Tweaker" (which has an awesome icon!), you can find it at www.versiontracker.com. I've...

    ATA 66 vs ATA 100

    A 7200 RPM HD is worth getting, IMO, over a 5400 RPM drive. You'll see a noticable difference in performance. As far as an ATA-100 interface vs. an ATA-66 interface, It's not worth it to buy an ATA-100 PCI card, you simply won't get much of a performance increase. On an ATA-66 bus, a 7200...
