though not related to os x (i figure this is the general discussion) 9.1 was also released just thought i'd throw that in there too since it wasn't addressed by steve either

2 things... first, the address book does serve a purpose, you start typing someone's name in the TO: of CC: or BCC: field and mail.app searches the address book database and throws up a list of names...don't cut and paste, thats freakin retarded...the address book also stores a temporary file...

good news...it appears as if the window shade functionality has been brought to os x like the apple menu :) check out my thread under general discussion for more info

I was looking around on apples mac os x section and noticed some new additions that steve didn't mention in his keynote address first off there is a button in the upper right hand corner of each window, check it out at http://www.apple.com/macosx/usingosx/communication.html I'm thinking...

itunes isn't currently built for osx

in response to strobe's obsession with drop drawers... The desktop is not intrusive on your screen space like drop drawers by having floating windows and while it is possible for the desktop to be completely hidden this case is very rare. you can access the desktop without having a huge ass...

if you haven\'t already heard check this out http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1006-200-4362156.html?tag=st.ne.1002.tgif.ni

no problem hmm, i\'m not too sure exactly what all you need to do to port these programs you\'ve made to os X, but XFree86 is available for os x. There is another thread somewhere that talks about a bunch of x11 servers that will run on osx. this may not even help you, i dunno, just thought...

pop in the os x cd, there is a control panel on there...the startup disk control panel won\'t recognize a mac os x system...this other control panel will...its called system disk i believe i just through it in my os 9 control panels...i think its installed somewhere else on your computer as...

hehe, you gotta love \"The Rock\", nice quote. ok, i guess i need to say something about the desktop now the original purpose of the desktop was to navigate through your computer, however this its primary function today. I think apple realized this and didn\'t put the hard drive and trash...

I don\'t totally understand the point of this thread. If you don\'t like and don\'t use the desktop that is fine, more power to ya. My desktop has about 200 files on it, i can hardly see my background picture and can\'t find a file on it by simply looking. Yet i am able to open anything on...

my guess is lack of available RAM. I have an imac dv 400 with 128...sounds in classic were kinda wacked, they would get chopped at the beginning or end, or would be delayed, or wouldn\'t play (i noticed most of this in word)...i upgraded my systems a month ago and put another 128 in my imac and...

startup on your os 9 cd...there should be a utilities folder, in there should be an app called HD setup utility. Use that...you select your hard drive you want to partition...there is either a partition button or you need to just hit format. (i haven't used the program in a couple years and...

yup yup, you must restart to enable services for a new application (ie terminal). Once it is enabled though you can adjust the services and you don't have to restart. I'm still looking for how to enable the mail services. I know there are or at least will be services because while trying to...

hmm, ok, in my services submenu i have stuff for Disk Copy, Grab, OmniWeb, and TexEdit. Supposidely mail has services, and as mentioned earlier terminal. When i go to terminal services i get the list of services that are available, but none actually suddenly show up. any ideas how to get...

running classic with a machine having only 64 meg of RAM is the problem. I have a 400 mhz g3 with 128 meg of RAM...when i ran classic i could hear my hard drive going nutty paging since i was running low on ram...i got another 128 a couple weeks ago and it run beautifully. Keep in mind you are...

I use os x on both my macs that are able to run it. In fact, I bought a g3 card for my 8600 a couple weeks ago just so that i could run os x. The first week of using os x was a little scary. Especially that first night when i had 3 labs to write up, had a few drinks, and needed to figure out...

option clicking on another app hides all the windows of the app i'm leaving, i think you might just be smokin a little too much crack ;)

Instead of arguing why or why not disabling the animations should be an option I'll offer a half solution, if you don't want to see the animations when you minimize the window then don't minimize it. 99% of the time i minimize a window in os x I am switching apps, so you can hide an app by...

I'm telneting to a Sun computer...the delete key sends ^? rather than ^h. I've tried changing my .login on the sun so that ^? is recoginzed as the erase char (stty erase ^?) but it just says no match. So, I'm trying to figure out how to remap keys from the terminal window...or figure out why...
