Well, I think I'll only use it on my "experimental" partition for now... ;) I am one of the many people who got bit by NU 7. I ran the file check portion of Disk Doctor on my primary OS X partition once, and it erased all my system settings and bounced me right back to the registration...

Personally, I thought it was hilarious that anyone would have Mozilla and Netscape in their Dock! ;) :p

Even if IE was significantly better than OmniWeb or Mozilla, (which it isn't), I still couldn't stand to use it because of its truly lousy cookie "manager" and the #@$%^&* pop-up ads.

It's Command - s to boot up in single user mode. And the prompt that I get when ready to run fsck is: localhost#

You can safely delete them. Just keep the newest one, or you'll have to rebuild your music library. :eek:

Well, the #@$%^¶•ª installer insists on quitting all other running apps before it will work its "magic." :mad: :rolleyes:

No, they are iTunes library databases. Are you using Norton AntiVirus with auto-protect? In earlier releases, that would prevent being able to write to the iTunes library, creating a new "Temp x" file every time you added/removed a library listing.

When you run the very fast fsck -y routine, what message do you get? Does it say "Disk _____ appears to be okay"? If not, then fsck has failed for some reason. The earlier advice about using DiskWarrior is a good idea. Another option is reinstalling OS X.

Just a few things that occurred to me after another session on 6C75: - Even with a mere 8MB ATI Rage 128 card, Quartz Extreme looks gorgeous!. - The "Do you want to replace it?" dialog box has the older/newer info back again. - I had forgotten how handy spring-loaded folders are. :p

You can tell your dad that I have been using Macs since 1996, when I was 44. And I love OS X! :D :D :D

IIRC, you have to install the security update before you can install the installer update. After both of those have been done, you should be able to install the 10.1.5 upgrade.

There are a couple of minor updates that you must apply to 10.1 before you can upgrade it to 10.1.5. Either use Software Update, or go to http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ to get them. You will need the security update from 10/24/01 and the installer update (I think that's all).

Recent builds of Jaguar are very impressive, but it's still a beta. Some features don't work yet, and there are some significant bugs. It all comes down to personal preferences. If a program/feature that you use all the time does not work in Jaguar, then it would be a waste of time for you to...

Mouse gestures rock! :D Between tabbed browsing and mouse gestures, Mozilla is really making it difficult for me to use any other browser. Now if Moz could just utilize Services... :p

Veering back on topic, there are reports of 6C83. :D

I play a little barely adequate blues harp. And that's being kind. ;)

It was on versiontracker last week. ;)

LOL! Could be 233MHz, for that matter! Here's an unblurred version of the Jag "About This Mac." (And yes, it is fast.) :D

I see that just over 20% of the voters in this poll are liars... :p :D

Check out cocoAspell. Very nice! It creates a preference pane in which you can select any one of a number of languages as the default for your spellchecker.
