OS X 10.1 is still very heavy on my iMac 350, despite the improvement performance-wise from 10.0.x. Simple tasks such as window-resizing (yes, I'm the kind of user who does actually resize the window a lot), moving through menus, and scrolling are not fast enough for me to use my Mac and 10.1 as...

I am trying to get my mac volume shared to my windows box for 3 days now... with no luck. Installed Samba X2.2.1a, attempted to configure it with SSCT 2.1.. but I can't log in from my w2k box, for some reason. If I try a 'share' security type, I can browse the shares, but can't access them...

You mean you installed the indeo5 codec for classic Quicktime, and the avi file plays in X Quicktime? Please elaborate.

Do this to your colleagues' 5G64 macs!! Create a new folder on the desktop, if you don't want to mess up a folder. Open the new folder, show the toolbar, select 'list view'. click on 'kind' to re-sort the (empty) list, then on 'size'. The width of the 'name' field will shrink. Continue...

Java works in IE 5.1? http://chat.yahoo.com didn't work once. Can anyone confirm this site? Yes, I have the 'enable java' option turned on.

I am another person to say that this feature, ideally implemented, would be greatly beneficial towards the users' computing experience. What I mean by ideal implementation is that the state (primarily memory) of one user gets saved on the drive, as with hibernation in windows 2000, then all...

What I mean is the rate of change in pointer movement distance according to the velocity of the physical mouse movement. In other words, you move the mouse quickly, the pointer moves a long distance. You move the mouse slowly, the pointer moves a shorter distance. I've found that the default...

Is there any way to modify the rate of mouse acceleration (different from tracking speed) in any way?

Well you all probably know the trick of changing the swapfile location in 10.0.x in order to squeeze a bit more speed out... I've tried the same trick, and it seems it doesn't work in 10.1. Has anyone pulled this off yet?

Hmm. Quite disappointing.. However, I upgraded to 10.1 from my 10.0.0 with Sharity installed, and when the machine launched 10.1, there was a "CIFS" icon already mounted on the desktop! This was all without running the Sharity client app (?), only with the 'startup items' component of sharity...

AFAIK, Mac OS X 10.0 (4k78) was released in 2 forms - the initial release, supporting 7 languages including English; and the international release, supporting additional languages such as Korean and Chinese. The international release seems to have been available primarily in those countries...

Very interesting thread... I have suspected in the past that I would not be the only iMac user stuck with no dedicated Mac burner, only with Nero and a PC. Now it seems to me that Nero 5.5.4.0 has adopted a different file recognition scheme, which rules out some forms of toast images as...
