One more vote for the 12.1 inch form. Just wish it was lighter. Three pounds would be nice.

Applescript runs way faster in X than 9. Copying files over Ethernet is way faster in X.

I wonder if it has something to do with files on the disk? I have a cheap FW disk I bought about a year ago. It worked fine OS 9. Recently I have started using it on an OS X machine. I have found that when I take it back to an OS 9 machine I have to turn it on once, wait a short while then turn...

I'm running a QS 867. I have had no problems at all since upgrading to 10.1.3. Works great. Actually, I have had only one crash and that was last September. OS X is my main OS. It is running every day.

I had been using iCab a lot but with the recent Omniweb sps getting so good I have switched to using it full time. Now up to sp 52. It is great; really fast and the java scripting works with my banks and some other web pages that used to be problematic. It even can display slide shows on Apple's...

Try searching Version Tracker. I think Amadeus and a few others will fill this need.

You might want to take a look at iBuild. There is an OS X version. I'm not sure if it is suitable to your needs. You can get it on Version Tracker. I've seen one or two items made with this and they looked pretty impressive.

Wow! I wonder if that refers to a 5.x release? For their sake I hope they will get out a version 4.2 or 4.3 before then. I think they will get more people to pay for it if it is not called a beta version.

Thanks. I hadn't tried the sneeky peeks before though I had heard of them. The improvements are obvious. This is really getting to be a great browser. The previously released browser had issues with java. This sp seems much better. It was able to display a slide show on Apple's site - the...

A subnotebook under three pounds would be cool. I wonder if when Steve said they won't do a PDA maybe he left the door open for something a little bigger like a pocket peecee? With an active screen you can write on with a stylus so it could double as a tablet. FW, USB1, video out, headphone...

Does anyone know how things are going with OmniWeb? I'm now using the 4.1b version and am looking forward to the full release of 4.1. Is there a place on these boards that tracks OW? thanks

I was getting the spinning beach ball more and more often. I tried MacJanitor. Maybe it helped a little. On the advice of the guys at MWSF I zapped the PRAM and rebuilt the desktop in OS 9. It helped a lot.

I also have a QS 867 with a cinema display. I have only tried playing one DVD (Gladiator), but it seemed fine. I have tried a few others on my Pismo 500 and they also played well. I have to say, I am not extremely critical about this and may have missed a few things. I was watching the movies to...

MPEG-4 is a rather complicated, inclusive standard for a number of technologies, not just simple video encoding. There is a huge effort going on now to ensure that files encoded by one companies codec will be playable by every other available codec. The good news is that it seems that MPEG-4 is...

We use the Asante Friendly Net router with four port switch both at home and the small office I manage. At the office we added the Asante eight port switch for a total of ten ports. The router has worked perfectly. At home we are Macs only but at the office we mix Macs and pcs without trouble...

Contextual menus in list view and column view now work properly. Not a biggee but it is an improvement.

For me 10.1.2 has worked fine. I don't have the problem with the hidden dock that was mentioned. Login times seem a little faster. In general, things seem faster. Option clicking on an item seems to close the previous window faster than before. The context menus in list view and column view now...

I too am starting to see the beach ball from time to time. When clicking on a folder or volume I sometimes get a spinning cursor for about 5 seconds. Perhaps it has to do with directory fragmentation as mentioned in another thread. I posted a comment to Apple's OS X feedback page about this.

Use whatever you like to make documents then save them as PDF files. If you get an ms document you can almost always find a translator. MacLink plus is cheaper than buying office. I refuse to send ms formatted documents unless the recipient absolutely requires it. I think it is wrong to use...

What's a floppy drive?
