    How do I change the Default FTP Program

    I don't think this is currently possible. I'll ask your question to an OmniWeb employee, and post their answer here.

    No Desktop - a two month study

    I no longer use the desktop. I have two 4-column Finder windows open all the time instead. Works better/faster. IMO the Mac OS is also easier to explain to newbies if there's no Desktop. OS X in general is a lot easier to use for newbies than 9 was - proof: since I have X, my mother is able to...

    Longest Uptime??

    About 6 days. I have to reboot every now and then because my cable-provider re-assigns IP-addresses every few days.

    no more transparenty menu please?!?!

    That makes sense. Icons/things that are being dragged also have translucency.

    Toast Titanium

    What software do you use with your burner? If your experience with it is _that_ bad, it probably isn't Toast 5. Toast 5 is excellent: looks great, works great (never had any significant problems with it). So if you aren't using Toast: switch over as soon as possible.

    Toast Titanium

    There are reports of people who successfully used Toast Titanium for X with their USB-writer. My USB-writer (LaCie) is recognized by Toast, but crashes when I try to change the name of a new CD to something other than "Untitled CD". Guess that's why it's a preview release... I'm sure USB devices...

    Using 'root' as primary account name

    I had the same problem when I created a user named "ftp" (I wanted to set up ftp-access for someone). The "ftp" user already existed (ftpd runs as "ftp", but I forgot that - stupid error) and I had some trouble with that. Now, I have checked what users already exist (using NetInfo Manager) so...

    Outlook 2001 under Classic Mode

    I'm afraid the name/app "Outlook Express" is not going to disappear: Entourage is the version of Outlook Express with added functionality like a calendar and note-keeping functionality... AFAIK Outlook Express is going to be updated and is going to continue to be what it is now: a free and...

    NEW mac warez page! www.macwarez.tv

    1/ snapCASE sucks 2/ snapCASE: in what way are you related to that website? webmaster? friend-of-webmaster? 3/ chemistry_geek: I've tried many Aqua-themes under Classic (including the Kaleidoscope theme you mention) and I think it's best to use the plain old Apple Grayscale Appearance in...

    newby to OS X

    The first user you create has the "Admin" status, this means that he can do more than a regular user (delete/access certain files/directories). If you login using that first user (with Admin status) you can give other (newly created) users the same status... (in the Users panel of the SysPrefs)

    no more transparenty menu please?!?!

    It is impossible to turn off transparent menus, and why would you want to? (IMO, all the transparant UI elements are very kewl - and sometimes even useful)

    Flower Power and Blue Dalmation?

    I wouldn't want to own a Blue Dalmatian or Flower Power iMac, but that doesn't mean that Apple can't try to reach out to other markets (kids? people new to computers?)... Apple also makes the kewlest hardware available today: PowerBook G4, iceBook, PowerMacintosh G4... On the other hand...

    newby to OS X

    1/ I don't know how to change the short name, don't think it's possible... I suggest creating a new user, next transferring over files to new user 2/ Classic DVD player doesn't work in Classic environment, you have to reboot to 9.1 to watch DVDs. DVD-playback is currently impossible on the...

    Steve Jobs Threw A Camera

    There are reports of people who used 10.1 on a PowerBook G4 Titanium at the expo, they say it _is_ faster. I don't think it's just raw power that made for the improvements we saw on stage. Those 1000 coders at Apple must have done _something_ since last March.

    Why Win2K is worse than OS X?

    PoweMACuser: I don't support your opinion. You're not anti-Microsoft? - You should be.

    It's Happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Proper spelling/grammar _is_ important on the web. I don't see the added value of capitalizing entire sentences or typing 40 "!"-marks.

    I need speed!!! what can I do??

    The name of that app is MacJanitor (search versiontracker X). (It rotates and cleans up log files, something most unices do automatically during nights and week-end.)
