Why not just turn on "copy songs to iTunes music folder when adding to library"? You double click a file it plays in iTunes and the file is copied to where it needs to be in the library. Delete the original. Done. Maybe you don't like this option for some reason, but it sure seems to be the...

I remember reading an interview with one of the old school user interface guys that was steaming mad when Apple didn't move on with piles. I think they've been kicking this idea around since before the System8ish era. Looks like he got his way. I'll be very interested to see how this works...

Keep me posted on your progress. You'll probably have to dig up this thread as it sounds like that project may take you awhile. I ended up replacing my DVD-ROM with the Spressa CD-RW (it's still very odd to me that the unit works perfectly as an internal drive but won't be recognized as a...

Well, the last post just proves that it's impossible to satisfy everyone. I really couldn't say which I like best. I kind of like having aps brushed metal and finder windows aqua. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to let you pick brushed metal or aqua for aps or finder or both. The problem...

So I've made a rather interesting discovery. I bought a Sony Spressa 100E USB CD-RW back in os 9.0 days. In OS X it is a paperweight. So out of frustration (and curiosity) I ripped it apart. Inside the housing sits a Sony Spressa 120E drive. I unplugged my never used Zip drive and lo and behold...

I'm trying to squeeze some life out of my Pismo, which can be painfully slow at times if I get too much stuff running in OS X. I plan to up the memory (currently 192MB) and possible the HD. But my real decision is in the processor. Powerlogix has both a G4 upgrade (500MHz with 1MB L2 cache) and...

I have never really understood the hatred of MS on Mac products either. The Mac Business Unit at MS is like the rebel punk child of the company. They really are trying to write quality software, and I think it shows. Office for Mac kicks the cheese out of the Windows counterparts. That's not to...

To all the doubters.... maybe you don't need X11. Fankly the major advantage is the remote capabilities others have mentioned. We can use X11 to log into my wife's Linux box 150 miles away and run whatever we need to off of her computer at school. I think that's X11's killer ap as it were...

I can see the point. I OWN a pmac (albeit an old one). I ahve upgraded the video card and added a 2nd hard drive. But I also did not buy the bottom of the line pmac when mine was new. I'm sure there are situations where a bare bones pmac is better than a $300 more iMac that does more. But I...

Well, I said that you lose the ability to expand. If you're going to go for DP, would you really do it as an upgrade, or wouldn't you just buy a PM that comes that way? If you need 3 HD, SCSI, etc, chances are your needs are beyond the $1500 PM anyway. I remain unconvicned that there would be...

With the new iMac, I'm curious as to why anyone would get the low end PowerMac. For $100 more you can get the 17" iMac with the same processor, more HD space, same RAM, and of course a big gorgeous screen. Granted that's my gut impression after comparing, because I would want a Superdrive in...

Oh yes, one other oddity. If I try to save a pdf of my document it shows up on the desktop (assuming I saved it to there) and then quickly disappears never to be seen again (before I can click on it, no matter how fast I am).

Anyone encountered this? Well, let me give more details first. I have two accounts on my Mac, one for me and one for my wife. From my account I can only print to my Brother printer from Textedit, Safari, etc. (Apple made aps basically). I can't print from a web browser other than Safari, and...

I second CodeTek's virtual desktop. Once you've had multiple desktops in Linux they're hard to live without. I can't believe no one mentioned LaunchBar. Best way to launch new programs ever.

He's just saying that it's faster. If you type "time" before a command *nix spits out how long it took to complete that command. He's showing that it's faster to ls -l everything in X11R6/bin under xterm than under the standard terminal. My results were even more dramatic than his. Interesting...

Any idea where it looks at startup? For example what tells it to load one xterm? How can I change that and change the default colors? I would assume that it is possible to alter this user by user, but it doesn't generate a .xinitrc in ~/, and the com.apple.X11 in Preferences just sets your...

It would be nice if it were open source, because then I'm sure we'd see changes made by the community to get tabbed browsing and all that in there. Anyway, the only other thing it is seriously lacking is spellchecking support. It seems to do other services, not sure why that's missing.

Now that I got the right file it does seem nice. I just need to figure out how to personalize it (especially the terminal colors). -Rob

Yeah, it's working now. Not sure what that was all about. It IS a beta, so I can't get too upset. But tabbed browsing is a must once you've grown used to it.

I feel your pain. I too have no idea where it went or how to start it. Let me know if you figure it out.
