    Bye, bye nroff, rogue and vi (from American Pie, Unix version)

    There's an old thread here http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=211 on how to do it. I have no idea if it still works. You're probably better off joining ADC Online & downloading the complete tools set from www.apple.com/developer/. That gets you PB & IB plus a bunch of nifty...

    Chat rooms, anybody?

    If it was irc, maybe I'd use them. If it was web or java chat, no way

    Finally, some backup software that handles resource forks

    does it work now? earlier versions apparently were dangerously buggy, as in failing silently with data loss & changing file names. be careful

    Bye, bye nroff, rogue and vi (from American Pie, Unix version)

    You need to install the Developer Tools CD to get these. Or you get get them from Darwin

    Someone's already working on it, although it looks like they haven't done much since May http://www.iit.edu/~sarimar/GDS/macuae.html

    Newbie wants to learn OS X programming

    I've found the best way for me to learn is to find something I want to do, then go out & learn what I need to to do it. I can usually figure out what sample code does by reading through it, and if I can't, the code is guaranteed to break eventually somewhere along the line; then I get to dig...

    spit my coffee out!

    I think bill has experiments done on him.. injects him with drugs as part of his human cloning/immortality experiments. Gates wants to live forever, and Ballmer's the guinea pig.

    Newbie wants to learn OS X programming

    Just to be contrary :) You're probably best off skipping the cli stuff for now and doing a Cocoa or REALbasic app. There are a number of sites with tutorials for either one, like cocoadevcentral.com and http://www.applelinks.com/rbu You'll get results you can actually use a lot faster that...

    serial number

    it's a hidden feature. during startup you have to option-shift click the apple logo while holding down the X & P keys, then move the mouse to the upper right corner of the screen for 3 seconds, then move it away. A dialog will open asking for your serial #. enter it & you'll have extra Dock &...

    Bizarre Unimplemented (?) Cocoa Help

    Press the Help key while in a Cocoa app. The mouse pointer turns into a question mark, but whenever you click on anything it just beeps. Hmm.

    Classic will not start, even after reinstalling

    Ya, but you might want to start up Classic once from the vanilla 10.0.0 install before updating to 10.0.4 to let 10.0.0 do its install thing. Right, upon first starting up Classic from that 9.1 System Folder OSX should say something like "The current Classic folder needs some stuff copied...

    You could try setting page setup to a larger paper size, then just making sure everything's at the top left of the enlarged area.

    ram usage

    Use the top command in Terminal, or use ProcessView, located at /Applications/Utilities/ If there is, not without some truly horrendous hacks. If OSX is slowing down, you don't have enough RAM to run what you're trying to run. Disabling vm is not the answer. From Apples Performance.pdf...

    Is my computer obsolete?

    There were also articles that said growth would stop when 386 class processors became commonplace, because 'people don't need any more than that.' And most people *didn't* for what they used their computer for back then - running DOS, word processing, 2d games, text BBSes and so on. Obviously...

    Can't index my own hard drive? Please help!

    Just save things under your Documents or home folder - you can index those. In OSX, whether you think so or not, you aren't the only user. There's nobody, root, www and some others - look in NetInfo. And you should never have just one user. Always make one or 2 'spare' users with admin...
