Have fun with it! I just got my DVD/CDRW upgraded to a 30gb drive. Now I'm wondering about clocking the bus up to 600mhz -- but I think I'll wait until the gearheads take apart the 600mhz version to see what the true differences are.

Yes, but what about Font menu management? Is TypeTool going to make an OSX version? Are we stuck with the lame floating font menu forever?

I've said it before and I have the feeling that I'll have to say it again: As the iBook's screen becomes larger, the notebook itself becomes larger. If you want to buy a sub-compact notebook, then you don't want a large screen. The iBook dual/usb's screen is simply incredible; the level of...

I've been running the Oct 6th build of Mozilla since that date and haven't had one crash yet. I absolutely LOVE the new tabs! I've removed IE from my dock, because I just don't use it anymore. If you haven't tried Mozilla in a few months, check out the latest builds; there's even a 0.95...

You all need to check out the latest nightly build for Mozilla-MacOS X. It is awesome, fast and fully compliant with most any standard out there. It has tabs to open new windows in, it can disable pop-up windows that you didn't click on, it can even look Aquaish with the correct theme...

I must throw my name into this hat as well. I can't program without virtual desktops anymore; the instant gear-switching between tasks is just too nice to give up. The task-grouping is simply brilliant with virtual desktops (ie, one window for email/IM/news, another for web stuff, another for...

Agreed. Not only webDAV, but the whole next-generation of networking services are all converging on port 80; not very cool. Microsoft's dotNET is basically RPC over HTTP/port 80. How are we going to firewall that? I think what's lacking is a secure authentication; I'm sorry but mounting an...

Of course Apple will update 10.1; but by definition MacOS 10.1 is 5G64, whether or not 5G68 was used at Seybold. Perhaps 10.1.1 will be 5G68, or maybe it will be 5H24; nobody knows.

What the hell does this have to do with Linux?

You're obviously not using a 500mhz G3 then. If I hit 'esc' (thanks for the tip, BTW) Quicktime takes about 10 seconds of stuttering before its visible in the window. If I grab the window and drag it around, the movie pretty much stops playing, although the audio never skips. It's pretty...

Try playing it in full screen then.

No, you didn't get the right movie. If you had downloaded the correct movie, you wouldn't be able to drag it around, because it is displayed on the screen with custom top and bottom graphics. Try again -- I promise, it will skip frames and even drop out for seconds at a time. There is no...

QuickTime just plain sucks under OSX. Download the 'fullscreen' trailer for Fellowship of the Rings from quicktime.com (30mb). Play the movie in OS9, it plays from scratch without a single hiccup (dual USB iBook with 384mb of RAM). Boot into 10.1 and watch the same exact movie; it drops...

[/b] I use magnification, and like it. I set my dock icons to be tiny, and then when I need to use something, it explodes out so that I can see it (or to look at the CPU usage in detail, or to get a close-up on some minimized document). Then, when I'm done with the dock, it hides back down...

And my point is that OSX currently offers this feature just fine. It's not as polished as XP's method of doing it, but it definately exists and works. Actually, the current user shouldn't have to quit using Mail.app if the second user launches it (this is how X11 works under real UNIX), but...

Just use 'su' in Terminal.app; you can run an application as any user: su - <username> $ /path/to/program/to/run I haven't tried running a Finder window that way; I wonder if it will work....

I recieved mine as well. :)

You need to maintain an encrypted smbpasswd file if you want to use NT lanman authentication with Samba (either that, or enable plaintext passwords in Windows). See the smbpasswd manpage for more information, and read up on the 'encrypt passwords' directive in the smb.conf manpage. I'm running...

You have to have purchased either 10.0 or a recent Macintosh computer from the applestore in order to order the upgrade.
