  • I believe that Apple might make one of this--if only it could. Subtract the screen from this tiny unit, and with what are you left? A compact G5. Yet Apple needed to make the current G5's case absolutely enormous--larger than my old 450 G4, whi…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Brad Carbon Misconception #3. Carbon CAN and DOES do toolbars. Do you think the Finder uses magic? What about the preferences window in iTunes? Just so you know. Ah. I had not checked the APIs, and had assumed …
  • My greatest complaint was once that Apple did not follow its own Aqua UI guidelines. That's changed, now. My complaint is, rather, that it does not use toolbars in many of its applications, consumer or professional. It'd be a heck of a lot nicer …
  • I respectfully disagree with those who believe that the iSight cannot be much improved. Its maximum resolution should be upgraded significantly to at least full-screen—1280x1024, or higher. Responders may be quick to point out that many chat cli…

  • Quote: Originally posted by shetline I've had the AppleWorks 6.2.9 Updater sitting on my desktop for a couple of weeks now, and finally got around to trying to install the update. All I get is a window that says "Gathering Information", and th…
  • Apple could come up with a shiny black iBook laptop and, in classic transition to the NeXTStep days of old, introduce it not as an iBook, but as the new successor to the original NeXT Box. They'd intrigue many potential customers looking for a powe…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Brian Green IAt $79 dollars a pop for the software you'd think that Apple has long since paid off any R&D that went into it all those years ago. They ought to either make it free for ALL Mac's, or make it an app t…
  • I expect that, in a few years, we may see some wonderful NeXTStep productivity software ported as an Apple suite. I would expect as much Cocoa goodness from Apple--they have dozens of goodies that come out in each major system release that are simp…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Jimzip That's good! Very funny stuff. Did you make it or find it? The picture of the panther on the box is what got me laughing.. Jimzip I was searching over a month ago for certain Panther-related disc ima…
  • Not quite accurate, but rather amusing. (Found upon the Gnutella network some time back.)
  • Quote: Originally posted by wbrowne1 Does anybody know if I can put my original airport card (with the interface adapter) into my Dual G5? or does the G5 only support Airport Extreme? thanks... As stated, you will have to purchase an E…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Merovingian In Panther, do the menus on the RHS of the menu bar behave correctly? ie: clock, displays, iSync, sound, ethernet, internet, etc... m. I'm not sure that I've seen them--iChat, Bluetooth, AirPort, Soun…
  • Quote: Originally posted by gsxrboy I imagine it will be cds as there are Panther compatible machines that are cdrom drived only.. but a dvd option would be a nice thing.. The main distribution is already three CD's; add to that the developer…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jethro Nothing is supposed to go beneath the dock. Yes, but a Cocoa title bar (just tested with iPhoto--I stand corrected upon that count) can move partially past the very bottom of the screen; a Carbon one (su…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Merovingian What's that bug? m. The 'bug' is that, as I alluded, whilst a Cocoa window's title bar can be dragged beneath the Dock, a Carbon window's cannot. I've no idea as to why it hasn't been fixed yet.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Merovingian Just a quick question: Can you tell the difference between a Carbon and a Cocoa app in Panther? (Sorry if this has already been asked). m. The answer is, for better or for worse, a resounding Yes, bot…
  • Quote: Originally posted by C47 Well I can say that so far limited Finder testing has shown that copying files into another folder shows them immediatly. I haven't had to fresh anything yet! Playing around with the other apps shows an amazing …
  • Quote: Originally posted by MCQ Yep. For example, open a browser window in Safari. When you click the red widget, the window closes. If you click the yellow widget, the window still exists, and it's minimized in the dock. The red widget doesn…
  • Quote: Originally posted by der Kopf That's not a new pane, but rather the prefpane that gets installed by the CHUD (Computer(?) Hardware Understanding(?) D(?)) suite, which has been around for a long while. I suspect this is merely a debug featu…
