There is extra stuff on there as part of the formatting done by OS X, I don't remember what though. When Toast does the burning, you get all of the space. If you burn in OS 9, you also get all of the space. There's just something about the way OS X creates the file system.

I agree logging out and back as admin can be a pain, but I view that as the price to pay for security.

You might try UNchecking the box that says "Show modes recommended by the display." That should enable all of the resolutions. Chris

Congratulations. I wonder if you just weren't getting that small button pushed in far enough? Chris

OS X includes a menu extra for opening the CD tray. In the Finder, go to /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ and drag the folder named Eject.menu to the right side of the menu bar. For volume, I would also recommend using the menu extra. You can get this one on the menu bar by opening the...

Do you get the tone after powering up?

burntoutjoy, I agree with you about the fact that a lot of applications don't behave predictable when you click the green '+' button. Chris

This should definitely NOT be done. The '+' button is not a "make it a bit bigger" button. It is a "show me all of this" button. If it doesn't work right, complain to the application developer. The OS does not, and should not, control the behavior of this button. Chris

Open Firmware is like the BIOS on a PC, except that is an IEEE standard (www.openfirmware.org) that is processor and operating system independent. Apple's Open Firmware home page is at http://bananajr6000.apple.com/ On the Mac, the Open Firmware code is part of the BootROM on the motherboard...

Hulkaros, Sorry, I must have misunderstood your post. I can see why having the ability to turn the option on or off in System Preferences would be easier. But I believe you have to be logged in as root to change open firmware parameters. So although you can do it from the terminal, I don't...

Hulkaros, If you think the average PC user even knows what BIOS is, how to get to it, or how to edit its settings, I would have to disagree with you. Turning on open firmware password protection on the Mac is no more difficult, and provides the same functionality as password protecting from...

How about consistent keyboard shortcuts across the Apple software? Specifically, have you checked out the keyboard shortcut for Preferences..." Safari cmd-, Mail cmd-opt-; iChat no shortcut Address Book no shortcut iCal cmd-Y iTunes cmd-Y Sherlock no shortcut Finder no...

Are you thinking of Save As...? I hadn't noticed this behavior because if I don't want to change the name, I use Save, not Save As... This is already there. That's exactly what the back button does. The back button is not in the default toolbar, but that's what customization if for. Go to View...

Put the picture in a folder all by itself. In the Screen Effects pref pane, select Pictures Folder, choose the folder with the picture. Click on configure and make sure "zoom back and forth" is not checked. Chris

I think you might be able to download an evaluation copy, which will let you troubleshoot this problem before the evaluation period expires. Besides finding extension conflicts, it has a feature that will go through your system folder and check all of the files for corruption. More than once, it...

Do you happen to have Conflict Catcher?

What if the rightmost column in column view could be viewed as icons, a list, or just a column? Wouldn't that satisfy everyone's desires?

That looks about like what we've got now. In fact, I don't like it though because it really doesn't show the path in the column you labelled as such. It just shows which disk the file is on. I originally thought you were going to post a picture of the windows explorer! Chris

I've had crashes like this before...and usually after it booted without extensions, the problem would be gone. Or else the Finder preferences were bad, in which case I simply tossed out that file and everything was then OK. Chris

Are you seriously trying to suggest that deaths in other countries due to starvation are the fault of the United States?
