    Mac OSX upgrade

    Thanks, fryke. Your advice is noted and I'll certainly take a look at that themes site. Certainly agree that OS X is the way forward and, as I said before, it will clearly develop and change as time goes on, just as previous Mac OS's had to do. Of course, it still clearly beats anything...

    No More Classic!??!?!

    Never mind 'Star Wars Racer' - I don't play games on my Mac! Those of us who use QuarkXPress regularly need to use OS 9 and/or Classic at the moment - until Quark get their fingers out and release an OS X version. Not that I could exactly afford it, even then....

    Mac OSX upgrade

    It will develop, just as Mac OS7.5 - which many of us can still remember - changed gradually over a period of time, and eventually became OS8.6 and 9.2. Thanks, twister, but I meant a bit more than themes or skins - although I'll certainly have a look at those sites. Surely I can't be the...

    The Dock and Web Sites?

    Very impressive, mdnky - why had no-one thought of that before, I wonder? Just out of interest - how did you achieve the OSX gray line background - a screenshot? Or was the whole image just a screenshot?

    Will you renew .Mac for $99?

    It was a cool address. I'm tempted, but can't really afford it. Certainly not on an annual basis. Sad.

    Which Mac Mag?

    'MacFormat' used to be good here (UK) and was eminently readable for the Mac man in the street, but has gone the way of all computer magazines in the last year, with more ads and fewer features. We can now get hold of 'MacAddict' - and it's certainly worth the little bit extra we have to pay for...

    Mac OSX upgrade

    And eventually, I guess, we'll be looking for alternatives to the Aqua interface and behaviour - possibly à la Kaleidoscope. I personally miss the ability to customize the look and feel of my desktop and folders. I think it's already beginning to look a little passé... although I'm aware I'm...

    "Tribute to the Columbia Astronauts"

    Thanks edX. A fitting memorial in this place. The Columbia tragedy has touched people all over the world commited to following their dreams, who share in your grief.

    why Apple needs better advertising...

    I couldn't agree with you more about Apple needing better advertising. The worst thing they ever did was discontinue the 'Think Different' campaign' - some may say it had run its course, but I believe it summed up in just two words the distinctive of Apple - and the Mac. And I hadn't...

    Mac OSX upgrade

    Well, whatever it's called - what enhancements or additions would you like to see in 10.2.4 - er, 10.3?
