Hi, According to Apple's website, text smoothing has been enhanced with a techonology called “Micro-pixel Positioning” which renders finer LCD Font Antialiasing and makes reading text easier on flat panel displays. You can see it in http://www.apple.com/macosx/newfeatures/ Scroll...

I bet it is a bit off-tpopic, yet it might be of some interest. In Spain, where I live, sharing music is not a crime (all that you can do is exercise a civil action). Furthermore, our copyright laws allow every person to make one copy for personal use, and also to share. Sadly, recently...

Well, I'm glad I didn't pay any attention to this type of stupidity an dbought my iMac … Jeez … These five months have been wonderful!!! :D

Pyroboy: Don't really worry, no nail, no coffin as of yet :-) First, IE is also not going to be developed any further on the Window$ platform. It is not as if M$ would drop their Macbu unit: they are just focusing on MSN as their web explorer. I guess it's got to do with their project of...

Wow, thanks a lot :-D I had already thought of buying a portable device, most probably once I had got the job. But, you see, I was convinced by a friend of mine to buy a Pocket PC, and now I am glad I didn't do it. I were used to the old Palm handhelds, and didn't know they had gone all that...

Wow, I just got connected this morning and saw all this answers... The Mac Community Rocks!! Lets see: I have tried Adobe Reader 6 (free), I had to update my Mac OS X to 10.2.4, in order to be able to use the eBooks feature, because, as far as I know, you can't highlight text. Anyway, though...

Indeed, I wanted to read eBooks, but as Adobe eBook Reader (at least on M$ Window$), could be used to read PDFs as eBooks, I thought, there would be something similar on Mac. The fact is that I used MS eBook Reader to study, as I created the eBooks from MS Word, and prepared my degree from that...

Thank You. Palm Reader is just good. But it doesn't suit me perfectly: I cannot highlight text, (I don't know, maybe the pro version lets me do so), and I have to buy also the eBook creation program. That is why I prefer working with the PDF format: I can create PDFs from Word. ¿Do you know...

Well, I think I am stuck with a serious problem: I switched recently to the Mac, and I am perfectly happy with the change :-), but I am used to reading ebooks withh MS eBook Reader, and it isn't available for the Mac. Fine, I thought, I'll just go for a less proprietary format, and use Adobe...

OK, I had a very long post as a reply, but I lost it (I guess that is why they call Safari a beta: it is still possible for it to hang), so I am going to try and rebuild it the better I can. The main thing that I want to say is that I guess you are right when you say that I am buying a Mac...

Lilbandit: I am, as you are, a newcomer to Apple and Macs. I have had my new iMac :-D for as short as a month now, but I can already tell you a series of things: 1.- I disagree with everybody talking about how fast Wintels are as compared to Motorola's processors (leave aside PPC 970). I...

I agree, you are never too cautious when giving out your credit card number

I were just repeating part of my post down there, in spanish. Nothing relevant, though.

Arden, "Tarambana" is a spanish word ( guess that is what you were asking about), although it is not a usual one. Just for your interest: it is used to refer to someone who is a bit nuts, who is not perfectly able to distinguish good from better for example (which, in fact, was what happened to...

Yes, Arden, it was meant to be areply for the other thread... Don't know why it ended up here, though it doesn't matter. Oh, and that word has no meaning... that I know of at least :-)
