i have my dock on the lower right, and DragThing on the upper left of my TiBook. i could do away with the dock except for some specific uses it has, that i have grown very accustom to since using OS X. i like icon notifications such as when Entourage has new mail, or when an app wants to get...

i dont know that the file HAS to be made at the command line, but it should, it just makes things easier. you have prolly never used a command line text editor, pico is about as light wight as you can get. the ternminal (unix shell) is not that hard to grasp, and as apple has made the tcsh...

i have payed for a lot of shareware, but i actually use it. WindowShade X FruitMenu DragThing DefaultFolder X OmniWeb SNAX A Better Finder Rename X ChronoSync Super Get Info The Little Dutch Moose - clean OSXS log files (you have prolly never head of this, look it up on versiontracker.

unless it is a 2001 iBook you are stuck at 8x6 screen rez. the clam shell ibooks cannot go higher. its a hardware issue. dont think there is software than can help ya. the 2001 iBook has a native rez of 1024.

boomw, its a 200 MB installer! im afraid thats too big to post. look for it on any of the bloated p2p networks like hotline or limewire.

you might want to go over to the OWC Pod Protector page. they look very nice, and have a handy belt clip.

has anyone noticed that Command - H brings up History (like the OS 9 version). this is OS X, command-h is used to hide the app damitl the history shortcut could be cmd-shift-h for all i care. what the hell happened to standards? photoshop 7 also uses command-h for hide/show selection. i...
