Oh heck yeah.. Panther is a must have. The speed difference between Jaguar and Panther is cleary noticable. Apps do start faster, the expose stuff is really cool and the fast user switching is great when your kids and wife also use the Mac to do their stuff. I don't regret paying the $69 for...

People got used to DOS or Windows, because they could just copy it without a problem, therefore getting used to that system without having to look for an alternative. Now those people have become decision makers in companies for IT departments and what do they buy? Of course what they know...

I don't know what Microsoft is going to have up his sleeves with Longhorn. But from my own experience starting with DOS 2.11 over Win3.11 through OS/2 then Linux but switching to FreeBSD and ending up with OS X after i found out that OS X uses FreeBSD as their platform I think i can say that...

No, haven't tried that yet. I installed 10.2.6 again. Maybe i give it a try during the weekend. See if your suggestion works. Thomas

After my update from 10.2.6 to 10.2.8 on my 933 G4 with ATI Radeon the loginwindow application does not want to start anymore and therefore does not provide me with a login window. This results just simply in light blue screen sitting there and not doing anything. I can ssh into the mac, so...

I tried pretty much every option i can. But i can't even remove my credit card information. This is pretty poor service that it doesn't let you cancel your account or at least your CC card info. Also instead of 99 cents per song, its 1.05$, since taxes are added. Anyway... i thought maybe...

I have been looking and searching and haven't found any info on how to close your music store account. I just signed up to try this new music store feature with iTunes, but now i would like to cancel my account. How in the hell do i do that? Anyone knows? Thomas

I have call waiting on my phoneline. After i activate the PPP dialup on my Mac and i try to call this number, the Mac does not disconnect! Therefore i could be loosing important calls. I only have one phone line in my house, so the Mac needs to free up this phone line if a ring is indicated...

I have a Radeon 8500 card and i just installed OS X 10.2 Now i'm wondering, how in the heck can i find out if Quartz Extreme is actually enabled. I know it should, since the Radeon is supported for Quartz Extreme, but i still would like to know if this is somehow verifiable. And yes, my Mac...

bash.. i even have the bash t-shirt from thinkgeek :) Thomas

I only had my powermac for a little less than 1 month... but i think my uptime right now is something about 23 days... i received the powermac, put in the new graphics card, turned it on and since then never powered it down and it also never crashed since then... But i have the sleep mode...

Heh.. funny... i have a old Powerbook 220 with b/w LCD and 4MB RAM at home with OS7.5 :) I use it as a terminal Thomas

tcsh is fine for autocompletion. And if you wanna stick with tcsh and use bash for shell programming.. just start your script with: #!/usr/local/bin/bash or whereever your bash is located. Thomas
