Dumb question: is it plugged in? When it is not plugged in, the screen will incrementally dim (when idle) lie you described.

I think a lot of people see potential more than what's actually there. Chimera did not anything for me until .4. However, from the first version I could see what other people see in it.

A couple of things that have not been covered so far: one clarification: the drawers open on the last side in which they opened if there is room for the drawer. so close the drawer, move the app all the way to the right. You can then move the apps whereever you like as long as there is room...

no I didn't, then again, I could not do much about it (I do more PHP than anything else). That's however, great to know as this type of apps are so truly handy (I should have also mentioned Cronnix which I used to grab movie info every day at 3am and write it to palm pdbs - crontab GUI)

I know... I've been trying, but for some reason I subconsiously keep going back to an external FTP client... maybe that koolaid was from Peter Li!

hen people ask me what's so cool about OSX, one of the things at the top of my list is what oyu mentioned: small freeware/shareware apps that are Cocoa GUIs to UNIX applications. It owuld be great if apple provided these, but it would be better if they appeared as very affordable shareware or...

MacLuv, I would have imagined that MacOSX's new font capabilities (e.g. Zapfino). I don't do design anymore, but I would have imagined that you'd find the new font capabilites of OSX pretty exciting.

I'd definitely second that. DiskWarrior is absolutely indispensable if you have problems. I had a problem for which fsck would not even work because the hard drive could not be mounted. Disk Warrior fixed the problem.

yes, hold down cmd-s during boot. the mac will go into verbose mode and boot into single user mode. you can run fsck from there.

After trying it I also sent them an email suggesting that they allow external editors. and also suggesting that they more the garbage can to the toolbar (so I can hide it), if it worked with BBEdit I would definitely switch.

solrac - the edit command under the file menu does not have a shortcut. In other apps (anarchie, NetFinder and others) when you select to edit a file, the file is downloaded to a temp directory in the local drive and that temp file is opened in BBEdit (some FTP apps let you select the editor)...

went to use transmit... I noticed that there was no keyboard shortcut for the edit menu (this is a faitly major inconvenience to me) and then... horror of horrors!!! when I selected edit the file opened in a window within transmit!!! another huge ugh! can't use transmit if it won't let me edit...

solrac - yes, it was the new version of Transmit. I'm a student (grad school) maybe I'll get me a copy of fetch. although I never warmed up to it. also, most FTP programs will let you turn off the local view (I never understood that either). I was happy with Anarchie, but then it turned into...

and why shouldn't apple cure lung cancer? I think they can! :D I mean, if coffee enemas can help pancreatic cancer, http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,56072,00.html maybe apple can come out with iColon or something like that. :D

With RBrowser you can't edit files in the FTP site using BBEdt. That pretty much rules it out for me. Also, this app seems to be extremely slow on drag and drop operations. I use NetFinder but I am not really happy with it (it has a propencity to crash when attempting to download a few...

There is a local hanburger chain (Tom Wahls) that has a great ad that makes the point. The tag line for the ads is "Sure you can buy a hamburger for 39 cents, but then you'll have to eat it!" I think that says it pretty well.

Actually, its more than that. Before OSX, if I was going to do a major OS upgrade and was worried about compatibility (hardware ans software) I would drag and drop a copy of the system folder to the desktop, separate the system and finder files and do the install. If there was a problem, I would...

I'd have to definitely agree, my cousin works for Bell. Last time I visited him he is suddenly talking about his Dual 1.25Ghz mac (with a Sun 24" LCD :mad: - must change jobs...). He is toting a G4 powerbook and talks about the XServe systems at work.... When did his job turn into Mac...

I just read this whole thread and it reminded me of the movie trailer for the movie Like Mike. Specifically the part during which a reporter is interviewing a basketball player and all the while littl bow wow keeps jumping up and down and butting in.... :D about Apple. I think that there is...

I noticed it, but only at home. At work I have a regular desk (fake wood grain paneling). At home I have an antique oak desk (grain is much tighter than it would be on a new oak desk) and this happens once in a while. I fixed it by using a mouse pad (not to mention that the finish was...
