What is it with people who want the demise of the Folder system? Given the erratic and tedious behaviour of Spotlight's searching function, I feel much more comfortable in just knowing a file is where I left it last. What needs fixing in Finder is exactly those things that simply don't work...

Thanks jbarley! s:-) That's worth a try. It isn't simple and not guaranteed to work, but it is a start.

Here are instructions I have located on the web: The trouble is the Disk Utility method besides being extraordinarily clumsy and circuitious [the above advice is only part of what you need to do] does not let you add to the original volume or image. The Toast instructions don't match the...

I have created the eDrive using TechTool Pro on an external HD. I don't really think that is satisfactory though in the long term. For a start it was extremely slow to set up and eats up a large chunk of what I have left of that drive. Secondly I can picture some possible problem affecting FW...

I'd like to create a bootable rescue CD that has all my utilities on it, including DiskWarrior 4, TechTool Pro and Apple's Disk Utility. I tried starting with my DiskWarrior CD and adding the others to it in Toast 7.1.2 but it won't boot OSX from it. I get the usual set-up "ignore...

It is actually in System Preferences > System > Universal Access, if you can't remember the keyboard shortcut.

My those lacy oilskins are slippery!

Damn the IMG link, just won't work!

...and as David Letterman asked him, "Bill where DO you get all your ideas from?"

I'm wearing my new Victoria Secrets' lacy oilskins with boomerang motif. They show off my wrinkles and agespots quite nicely. Being very expensive I have to compensate the rest of the week by not wearing any underwear at all. So what are you wearing?

Illustrator (.ai) is a pdf file, Adobe has moved on from .eps files. Everything is getting written in .pdf from now on. You can try printing it to pdf, that effects a change and may clear out what is at fault. Illustrator CS2 crashes a lot so I wouldn't go thinking that it is something you...

Found PhotoPresenter, one sexy little Mama!!!!

Yeah I know about those but they never apply to me or have what I am looking for. They are mostly the old 2 for 1s and usual Dell discount stuff. The stuff that I am talking about is the software vouchers which don't appear on those sites.

I encountered a website just yesterday that displayed a very large, even on my screen, (and obviously unoptimised) Flash movie/interface. It took over 6 minutes to load. I let it go all the way then quit out of the page, but I doubt they have anything that monitors how many viewers they are...

Same here. I'm already struggling with REALbasic, QuickTime and a swag of other design apps. I'm too busy to get efficient s:-) But let me know how you go. Helps if software is bleedin' obvious, then I don't mind playing around with it till it works for me.

Othello I take it is a typical Irishman, worried about getting his offensive weaponry wet. Or didn't Shakespeare mean it as a metaphor? btw Which part of Popeye never gets rusty?

I'm just in the process of buying some software over the net and hit one of those shopfronts which offer a discount if you happen to have a "voucher" code. I do try to do the right thing by software developers and pay for software I use. However it strikes me as odd that some people pay more...

I am not belittling Britain's outstanding effort against Hitler. Nobody else stood up to him, except Britain's loyal Commonwealth members, who Britain just counted amongst her own statistics. That is until it came to working out who would pay for the struggle. PM John Curtin used to complain it...

You won't get me defending our PM or some of his nasty tactics to stay in power. I wish people were less polite and just called the lies for waht they are. But I know from being on these forums that people will "prove" the lie is fact because "everyone knows them to be true". Nor will you get...

Yes I was referring to England. Wales and Scotland were mostly out of range and/or not primary targets. Isn't this whole notion of bloody mindedly dumb nationalism an English one anyway? Fascinating that you refer to that chart to "prove" your point and pick out the under 1% fatalities of...
