As long as you don't use quotes or backslash \ (cd Mac\ OS\ X\ Software) it won't work and that's just how it is. Backslash tells it to read the next character (with is a blank space) and not as a parameter for the command. But here is a tip for you. Try to type out "cd Mac" when you are in...

I think there is a problem with the TWAIN support in GraphicConverter, and not the TWAIN driver itself. I've seen several people with the same problem regarding the new Canon scanner drivers.

I see what you are trying to say, but it's not fully correct. The classical OS 9 Finder was also just a running app. The difference however is that the multitasking and protected memory capabilities in OS X, does not make the Finder influence other apps. Talking about the Finder I really hope...

The exact same thing happened to me as well, actually. That was on a PowerMac G4. However, I was really lucky because I had VNC installed on the box so I could log in from my iBook and run the 10.1.3 package update again. After reboot everything worked as it should, and never seen a problem...

I agree. There should be some kind of tabbed dock option, where you could have one tab for internet, another for utilities and so on. Kind of like DragThing but more "OS X like".

Hehe, I wish. I have a G4 400 myself, but I have to tell you that speed is not a big concern on this machine. It's a lot more annoying on my iBook 500, where things really can get slow sometimes... Things like browsing through menues and launching apps are just too slow! Apple sure has a lot of...

No, it's not the same thing, and OS X sleep function is way better than hibernate. When I put my G4 desktop to sleep, it uses very little energy as it puts everything on the computer too sleep, expect the little light on the front of the case glowing. When I press a key on the keyboard it comes...

Here are some things I'd like from the top of my head: - More energy-control, like OS 9 where you can set seperate settings for battery vs. power cord attached. - Multiple logons, like WinXP where processes are put to sleep when another user logs in. - Faster Finder, faster menues, faster...

Try putting in a couple of other DNS servers than the ISP you are using. That might be the problem, since you are able to check the mail. (which I assume is your local ISP mailbox)

This looks like the MacOS X version of ANAT, Apple Network Assistant, that mac administrators have been waiting for. It can't be compared to Timbuktu or VNC, since remote screen-controlling is just one of many features. Apple Remote Desktop can also get reports from all machines on the...

This sounds wierd, but here are at least some things you can check: 1. Does the Airport base run DHCP, if so: - Have you set it up with DHCP in the Network prefs? - Have you specified the DNS servers? 2. Have you set the Airport-card to be the first network interface in the Network...

Zyxel have stated that they will not develop a OS X driver either. You can however exchange your ISDN adapter with an ISDN router from Zyxel for an affordable price. Call Zyxel directly in your country for more information about this.

It`s really easy. Just go to http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ and download the VNC package for Windows. It`s a straight-forward install, and there is enough information on the page to get you started. Then you just need to get a VNC client for MacOS X. I can recommend VNCthing which I use...

I've installed and tried the Virtual PC 5.0. It's no faster than the virtual pc test drive, and therefore very slow. I have a 500Mhz iBook, and don't really need VPC since I have a PC. So to those that are thinking of playing counter strike on it: GET REAL! It'll never work. :p

There is no need for a menu, cause Classic actually goes asleep when there are none classic apps running, so it doesn't take any resources.

I like all your ideas, but also have some more to add: 1. Possibility to grab windows in the edges, and hold down a key to resize them. 2. Multiple active logins, ala WinXP. (you can log out, but your apps are still in the background so login in again will get you back where you left. Great...

Yeah, it's a really great feature, and I use it all the time in X for Linux. However I do understand that it could be a little confusing to get the average Joe to understand this functionality. But it should be an option, and I don't see it being hard to add either. I would love it...

I totally agree with you! I have aPentiumII 300MHz Win2k machine running right next to my iBook 500MHz G3 with 10.1. IE 6.0 on the windows machine renders and loads pages SO much faster, it's not even funny. I feel like crap walking in mud when moving over to IE 5.1 in MacOS X 10.1. This...

Well, that's just rubbish. Don't tell me that IE 5.1 for MacOS X is a better browser than IE 6 for Windows. IE 5.1 lacks good java-support (ever tried yahoo games?), certificate support, autocomplete in forms, autoremembering of passwords, cookie control/blocking, incorporated WIndows Media...

Have you tried Netscape 4.75 for Classic? My Norwegian web-bank service, Skandiabanken.no, requires this in order for me to log in. I think Netscape 6.2 also works, but then you have to first export the certificate you are using and then import it in 6.2. Good luck!
