    New Terminal "feature"

    Opening a new window doesn't solve the problem. For example, if you read a man page that's several screens long, you cannot scroll backward to review what you've read. Each new page erases the last. There must be a setting to change this.

    In Jaguar is Appletalk really gone? Is there a solution for using Laserwriter printer

    When you say that Appletalk does not support Postscript level 1, you are mistaken. Appletalk is a network protocol. Postscript is a printing protocol. What you really mean is that OS X's native printer drivers do not support Postscript level 1 printers, no matter how they are connected.

    Upgrade DVD burn speed on orig 17 powerbook?

    Actually you can just update the firmware to activate 2X burning. It's not officially supported, but here it is: http://superdrive.cynikal.net/ Chris

    Network Time

    When synchronization occurs, a line will be written to your console log. Here is a line from my log showing the sync: 29 Jul 19:14:24 ntpdate[16331]: step time server 17.254.0.26 offset -15.239793 sec Chris

    User name

    Is "Apple Computer" the name of the hard drive? If so, just change it like any other file name.

    Fast User Switching

    I hope they make the transition style user selectable as a preference. I think the twirl transition from Keynote would be kind of cool.

    New Finder Question

    I'd like to see the user switching transition be a preference. Why not let us select from the entire list of Keynote transitions? In particular, I think Twirl would be kind of neat!

    Apple just doesn't get it.

    I think they DID cut prices today. The 1.25 GHz G4 PowerMac is $1299 and the dual 1.25 GHz is $1499. Chris

    Apple just doesn't get it.

    ...and so would the performance. The new G5 PowerMacs would blow away your 2GHz Pentium.

    trackpad issue

    It should just work. If it doesn't, I'd guess you have a driver problem. The driver should be a standard part of OS X. What do you see when you open the Mouse Preference Pane? If nothing, then I would think you might want to reinstall OS X. Chris

    ibooks for new user...

    Someone suggested adding 256MB of RAM. I'd say skip that and max the machine out by adding 512MB of RAM. These modules cost less than $100 US and are well worth it.

    Some changes for 10.3

    This is a great thing that I do use all of the time. You can turn it on by editing the dock plist or use this simple utility to enable it for you... http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8833 Chris

    My Theology Paper: WMD and Christianity

    You do realize that this is not a complete sentence? Beyond that, I really don't understand what you are going to say. It sounds like the thesis is going to be an anti-American rant. If that's what it takes to please your professors, then I guess that's OK. You have to write for your...

    how do I use carbon copy cloner?

    Yes, use CCC. DO NOT DRAG the files over. It doesn't work in OS X because of file privileges and the number of invisible files. Chris

    Partitions

    I've never felt the need to partition my disk. Follow the KISS principle--keep it simple! There is little benefit to trying to decide in advance how to dedicate your disk space. The few exceptions to this rule are if you want to install separate systems, for testing or backup.

    AAC/MP3 Joiner?

    I've done it with Quicktime. Just open the files, select all of one, copy it, then paste it at the end of the other. Save it. Now you need an MP3 encoder to reencode the file. iTunes may work for you. I had better luck with the free mAC3dec. Chris

    Cover Art

    It all depends on the size of the picture you put in the file. I've been using Watson to get pictures from Amazon.com. Those pictures are about 50K each.
