ok, no idea how my posting my pics suddenly turned this into a tech discussion 
, but....niles, why don't you you use jag if you have both? since i got the new place to share pics, i was thinking about getting jag instead of the website that was suppossed to be my late yule present. everybody i've talked to says it's much better. aside from money, the big reasons i hadn't bothered was warries about losing some stuff that's important to me, but since viavoice and a few others have jag versions now, i figured it was about time.

Ed,
The reason I didn't install Jaguar over 10.1.5 is because I waited to see what happened when everyone else did. X Windows broke until an update to it was installed, I cannot live without GIMP. A few other things changed at the BSD/UNIX level too. I'm learning enough about the inards of Mac OS X to be dangerous. I've got Blackened installed, an IRC program that runs in the terminal, manually compiled that with the help of one of the members (that was a job and a half for a newbie). Infact, I tweaked 10.1.5 a little, I turned on some window compression algorithm and some other tweaks from http://www.macosxhints.com/ that has my system purring like a kitty. For some reason that I don't know, the dock magnification is as smooth as glass in 10.1.5 and slow and staggered in Jaguar. 10.1.5 is installed on my IBM UltraSCSI 7200RPM 18HD while Jaguar is installed on the IBM OEM UltraATA 5400 RPM 12GB HD. The UltraSCSI is much faster than UltraATA. I don't know how to physically swap the two OS's around the other HDs without messing things up. I have the QuickTime 5 registration code, not the QuickTime 6 registration code, so saving movies from the internet is important to me. My system is 5 years old this month, when the PPC 970s come out, then I purchase my new toy and upgrade to the latest greatest OS version. In Jaguar I turned-on file journaling, so if Jag crashes, everything should pick up where it left off with little or no HD errors (Jaguar has never crashed on me yet, and 10.1.5 hasn't either in quite some time).

oh
ok, i just took some new shots of the backyard today and while getting them ready to post on the pages, i was so excited about this one, i just had to share with you guys. technically it is terrible, i almost didn't even take a bigger look. but i'm glad i did, because i couldn't get this effect if i tried. art and magically it is great.
i have feeling i will mess around and keep trying different ways to get what i want out of this pic, but this bqasic enhancement is quite nice as it is. (yes, the rainbow is in the original pic )

Looks much warmer than here Ed...
The GIMPs were just an idea.
Besides... before installing those - again - this time i'd want the uninstallling instructions. So MacGIMP installed itself somewhere and i resolved the problem (got some nice kernel panics etc, i think because of that) verry windowsly - i formatted and installed everything again ... simply because there were no uninstalling stuff - not even a list of the stuff to be removed on any mac / -gimp / .org / linux / whatever site.

Ok, name another place that serves cofee and has books and magazines you can read there? (and is in Burbank California)
Yeah there are other cofee places - without the books or magazines... But since I'm not such a big cofee drinker there needs to be another reason why I hang out there.

Hmm... you must mean "regular" coffee... I hate that kind of coffee anywhere I go.
I mostly like the frozen kind, not that many hot ones.
The nearest Border's is too far and out of the way for me to go to at the moment. Maybe when I am recovered enough to drive distances and go back to College - but no idea when that'll be.
