At http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/specs.html you will find that Apple STILL ADVERTISES iTools AS A FEATURE of their products! As per the attached screenshot (84KB), Apple says on the Mac OS X (10.2) Jaguar specification page: "Use integrated iTools services including a Mac.com email...

Hi, did I mention I wrote instructions on how to set up a free Dictionary on your Mac? (w/ a DICT server for OFFLINE use). At www.ropersonline.com under the "Mac OS X DICT Howto" section. (Sorry, no direct link available - am using URL Framing.) If you ever look up words, then this...

Clamshell? What's clamshell?

I haven't been able to get my (white) iBook to stay awake. (and no, I don't want to leave the display on) Again, if there was anyone who's actually using Jaguar, preferably even on an iBook out there? Please?

Currently, with Mac OS X 10.1.5, if I close my iBook in OS X, it goes to sleep. Unconditionally. There is no way I can prevent it going to sleep and keep it running w/ just the screen dimmed and closed. (If you know a way, pls email me. q@ropersonline.com) On this Apple page, under I/O and...

I've been running 10.1.5 w/o hassle. Then I took the most recent security update (2002-08-02) via Software update. Now it no longer completes any logout, shutdown or reboot. It goes to an all blue screen (the finder, menu bar, background pic and dock all disappear) and there it just...

Sounds like tit for tat. Though it's obviously not commercially sound. But in this world of corporate institutionalized insanity it wouldn't surprise me. :-/

Yea. Mea maxima culpa. Thanks for the reply, btw! :-) Jens

thanks :-)

So what was RacerX's theory?

Yea, they're horrible. I bought a HP Deskjet 340 (with battery, IR and Mac adaptor, the lot) some years ago. I used to be proud of this portable color/bw printer, and that I could use it on Macs and PCs. Then I progressed to Mac OS X and my new iBook. The wasted effort, trying to find...

Thanks a bunch! :-) Jens

daft question re pico: does anyone know if pico gets installed by default with a standard OS X install? Or only when the BSD subsystem gets installed? I don't remember and I don't want to rebuild my Mac. Thanks a lot Jens

logout/shutdown script I am running JDictd (http://www.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~duc/Java/JDictd/) from tcsh in Terminal on Mac OS X (:=Darwin=FreeBSD/Mach). I am trying to get it to exit cleanly silently upon Mac OS X system shutdown. My idea was that if there was a logout script in...

This may sound crazy, but I think we shound start a grass roots movement and together build a community of Mac users who believe in the following: - The digital divide should be narrowed, not broadened. - Volunteer work beats the commercial model. - There are tangible benefits for everyone...

gibbs or anyone really: Could you possibly suggest a good and stable lo-cost or free email provider (possibly POP3, no need for high capacity)? Many thanks, Jens

yea, did all that. no joy.

I don't know what I would possibly have done wrong, but for some reason I can no longer view PDF's inside a web browser (embedded view via plugin vs. starting the Acrobat reader app). That goes for any browser under Mac OS X. Instead of opening the Acrobat Reader 'embedded' as a plugin to the...

What are you on about - look to Hungary! You don't even get Mac OS X there - all they offer is OS 9. Why? An OS X localisation doesn't exist yet! I'd say after one year that's much worse than any surcharge.
