i want real right to left text support. i do work in Farsi and without this, i can't use Mac OS X and will soon have to buy a Windows box just to do this work and i REALLY don't want to do that. na

On the Classic Finder, I'd like to point out that it wasn't the jewel people recall it to be until fairly recently. As recently as Mac OS 8.1, it was a dog... better than Windows 3.1/95/98 but still a dog. It was slow, didn't have a good Find comman…

i predict that Apple will be flooded with orders for the PPC970 PMs. and i also instruct you to keep an eye on UCLA's computer store. for the past 5 years, massive price cuts have preceded the introduction of new machines. in fact, that's how i got …

a couple of things come to mind... periodically, you should fix the permissions using Disk Utility. this seems to be the Classic equivalent of zapping the PRAM or rebuilding the Desktop. otherwise, you might have bad RAM. try removing the RAM and…

SONY purchasing Apple? At first, I reacted negatively to this but Sony makes some very nice hardware (electronics and computers). Their vision also matches Apple's longterm vision. They market to the same type of prosumer. They have vast experie…

actually, the only thing that would happen is a sharp rise in the purchase of 802.11 cards and people leaching off of apple's bandwidth. most people who would want to be checking their emails (business users) would already have a laptop on hand …

greetings, the $100/yr for iTools/.Mac is unfortunately quite true... you should be seeing a CNET/News.com piece on this quite soon. however, i don't know what kind of new services Apple plans on offering to start charging such a hefty fee. &a…

I prefer Palm-devices over PPC-devices for the same reason most people chose a PC over a Mac - they're cheaper and there's more of them out there. Most of my colleagues (95%+) use Palm-devices and it's simply easier to exchange information with them…

Greetings, I've been using 10.2 since release with experience on the following machines: Beige G3 - Upgraded to 400 mhz iMac DV/400 Powerbook G3/400 Each improved with 10.2. It is quite usable on the beige box and is now my dad's primary …

10.3 will be a mini-upgrade along the lines of 10.1. why do i say this? 7.5 -> 7.6 major clean-up/overhaul, few new features 7.6 -> 8.0 major upgrades to interface & features 8.0 -> 8.1 optimizations, a few new features…

yes, on my aging beige g3, the web experience has become much faster and much more enjoyable. previously, i couldn't use various flavors of chimera because of slowness, with jaguar, not only is it better, it's much faster than IE in everything excep…

I recently upgraded to build 98 and haven't had any problems. my personal settings and user accounts all carried over just fine. Office works without any problems. I've tested Word, Entourage and PowerPoint. Toast also works but doesn't seem …

greetings, installed 98 on my beige g3 (400 mhz, 384 MB RAM, Radeon 7000) and it's impressive. i'd heard that i shouldn't expect much from a low end machine like mine but it's nice. pretty much everything is smoother, faster and "snappier!" th…

Unicode is the solution to a problem that plagues all languages on this planet, including English. This problem is familiar to me because I also speak farsi and it's been impossible to exchange email easily on the 'net because of differences between…
