    small print output using Mail

    i have never tried to print using Mail, but while at a client's yesterday, he showed me how his Mail app prints things at about half the size of normal. i checked all of the basics, like Page Setup & print dialogs, but cannot see any cause for this. i just printed something out of myMail app...

    Unreal2k3 demo

    i run UT2k3 on my P4/1.8GHz/GF3128 and it rocks of course. i've never had a frame rate problem. however, i'm not surprised there are folks complaining about frame rates without having a GF3 or GF4 video card. there are just too many graphic details in the game, like Quake Arena, for a less...

    How much faster can 10.3 be??

    i don't think OS 9.x is faster than OS X at all! without multi tasking, you have to wait for each program to get done with its tasks before you can go on to other work. i run OS X.2.x on my old Powerbook Pismo G3 500Mhz and i'd rather work in X than 9 ANY DAY! however, i did purchase a hot...

    Pro audio?

    i've been a ProTools user since sometime around '95 - all TDM versions. i've used it on the Mac OS platform at a voiceover studio. although i've had some opportunity to run PT on a "newer" Mix systems, which our studio has recently purchased, i used an old PPC 8100 (100MHz) from ~'95 until...

    Apple's Recomendation on Gaming

    QUOTE: A Quote... "If Apple had allowed other manufacturers to licence its technology and operating systems years ago, Windows would never have been invented; Microsoft would be a small applications developer complaining about the Apple monopoly; Intel would still be making chips for...

    "Switcher" needs advice

    you will DEFINITELY want the dual 1.25 rather than the iMac! video work is taxing on the CPU and the more power, the better. whenever the video editing software you use needs to render, etc, faster CPU will help tons. you might want to double check with Apple regarding the dual processor -...

    Font style copy & paste

    my ONLY problem since upgrading to X.2 involves losing a MUCH NEED feature that i've been bragging about in X since it came out... that is the ability to copy and paste font styles within Text Edit AND Mail by simply selecting the desired font, [Command-3] then selecting the font to replace...

    Software Update problem

    i just got my Powerbook back from Apple for a repair or two. after copying my user folder back over and all going well, the only problem i have run into is that the Software Update system preference thinks that all of my software is up to date, when it most definately isn't. apparently it is...

    mail troubles

    since i upgraded to OSX.1, i've had continuous troubles with there being e-mail background check timeout failures. it seems that i can check my e-mail properly most of the time, but when it is left to automatically check e-mail for me, it always comes up with this timeout failure on port 110...

    trashing locked items

    ok... another Q! the "option-select empty trash" method of deleted locked files in the trash can doesn't seem to work. is there any new method of quickly deleting these files without unlocking each file?

    newby to OS X

    thanks! i tried creating another user already... however, this didn't seem to work for some reason. apparently, the first one entered is special or something. i don't understand why there is no allowance for changing a name anywhere. i guess it's one of those oversights of Apple in this...
