    RAm and Macos X final version

    I noticed a substantial speed increase going from 192mb to 320mb on my G4. Then again, I do a lot in Classic, which can drive substantial memory usage. At the current prices, buy as much as you can afford and you won\'t regret it! -rob.

    apache web server, what do i do?

    Boolindilly: Is your domain pointed at your IP address? The network name servers need to know that "www.foo.com" resolves to an actual IP address, somewhere. The actual ins and outs of getting this done if you want your local Mac to serve pages whenever someone asks for "www.foo.com" are...

    tcsh is broken

    Tom - This is actually a fairly common OS X PB bug. You can probably find numerous listings for it if you search for "Process Completed" in the forums here, at MacNN, or at MacFixIt. The short answer fix is either get used to using another shell, or reinstall OS X. Reinstall isn't as...

    Customise the Dock with the Dev. Tools

    There's an easy way to do this from the terminal: defaults write com.apple.dock showforeground -boolean YES defaults write com.apple.dock showhidden -boolean YESYou can read the full scoop on the osxhints site, if you like -- there are a couple of other interface article hacks there, too...

    Postscript Printers

    it's my understanding that printer descriptions are not yet implemented in the PB. you won't be able to take advantage of any printer-specific features, but generic printing should (and does, from my experience) work fine. -rob.

    One busy Mac...

    Turns out I had to set the prefs to PHP, and then pick a menu item called "Reload Edit Environments." That did the trick, and I'm now looking at color-coded PHP scripts! Cool! -rob.

    One busy Mac...

    I'm pretty sure I did that ... I'll have to check again when I get home tonight, but I'm sure I remember seeing that in the prefs area, and setting it to PHP. Thanks for the tip... -rob.

    One busy Mac...

    I downloaded and installed this last night, as I thought I'd read (here, in fact, but I can't find it now) that it properly color-coded PHP documents. I opened a PHP doc with it, and got ... nothing. I've installed most of the plug-ins, but can't seem to figure this out. Anyone...

    Observations of Mac OS X

    >>Do you know if the Apple and Application menus are also available in this release, but just turned off? If not,<< I don't think that's the case (haven't heard if it is, at any rate). The only way I know of to get the Apple menu back is via a third-party program (search under OS X on...

    Searching for MacOSX-AppleScripts

    /??g that may limit the number of OS X scripts you receive is the current status of AppleScript in the PB. From Apple's OS X and Applescript page: I couldn't get a desktop position manager to work (modifying a free one from OS 9), and think it was due to the lack of finish in AppleScript...

    Observations of Mac OS X

    Sorry, didn't mean to offend -- I thought you were saying that the features just weren't there; I was trying to point out that they were. Apple left them turned off, probably because they aren't quite working yet (if you double-click the trash on the desktop, you won't get the contents of the...

    Observations of Mac OS X

    gduncan: This has been mentioned on the net in a large number of spots (here, probably, too). Apple has built-in the functionality of disks/trash on the desktop, but simply not enabled them as of yet. You can get around this yourself in the terminal if you want - just type the following...

    how can i access the file menu through the keyboard???

    >>It's on there, near the bottom. It's called MenuBoard.<< Just so everyone here is aware, the program MenuBoard was used by RedDragon Software without the author's permission. The original program was written by a friend of mine, and he's compared their program to his, and it appears to be...
