  • I'm truly sorry that you have some kind of problem with Classic in OS X 10.2. My experience has been incredible. Classic loads in less than 30 seconds and all my apps work perfectly. In fact, I was having such good success, I decided to reinstall…
    in Jaguar Classic startup up slow and no fonts Comment by dws September 2002
  • The email refers to Apple's special 10:20pm, Aug 23rd, event at its Apple Stores; where everybody will get a Jaguar T-shirt. Also, each Apple Store will be giving away one Mac (the Manager of the MN Apple Store says that it will be an iMac). I…

    in OS X 10.2 and older Macs Comment by dws July 2002
  • "Apple themselves had it in a previous OS" & "Isn't rocket science" These two quotes say a lot about how people mistakenly view the transition from OS 9 to OS X. They are common views, but utterly wrong. There is a perception out there …
    in AirPort Software Base Station back in Jaguar... Comment by dws July 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Brian Paulsen: A few more questions... Since Apple doesn't have an "upgrade" price for 10.1 users, would it be reasonable to expect them to keep supporting and fixing the 10.1 release? (Much like they do with OS 9).…

  • [quote]Originally posted by eat@me: The upgrade Jaguar cost is not the OS upgrade fee but the need to upgrade relatively new systems with 32MB graphics card or TiBooks (500/400) or other systems to run the new Quartz. You know the drill. Bloat …

  • Perhaps Finder in 10.1.x is horrible for people who have folders filled with tens of thousands of files, or who spend all of their time resizing the window, but most people just don't have that big of a problem with it. Belle's suggestion that we s…

  • I rarely post, but I thought that this thread deserved a thought or two... As Fotek2001 said, no new hardware will be released at this developer's conference (though, as a developer myself, I don't agree with his statement about developers "still…

  • You're right, guilty, you are being lame! The simple reality of life is that if you choose a minority platform, you're going to miss out on some of (what you call) features. Creators of small, niche, devices will write drivers for WinXP first; …
    in Developer outlook for OS X? Comment by dws April 2002
  • Not only does it work, but it works exceptionally well. StreamRipperX is a very nicely designed program. Cudos to the developers.

  • [quote]Originally posted by vr6: Believe me, displaying and resizing PDF's (which is essentially what Quartz is) would be far faster on PCs with their faster memory and bus than is the case on Macs. Boy, do you need to read up on Quartz!!!
    in New Appleworks in April, woohoo! Comment by dws February 2003
  • I have been a fan of Tranquility since it first came out. It is an unusual game that has to be played to be understood. Floating around a 3-D space bouncing off of platforms, hunting for elusive spinners - over and over again - sounds boring. M…
    in Anybody play tranquilty? Comment by dws February 2003
  • QuickTime is a Carbon application, so its user interface is specially-designed (just like iTunes). You wll not be able to change this (just like iTunes!).

  • IBM ViaVoice, running on OS X 10.2.1 with 768Mb of RAM on any Mac bought in the last two years works beautifully after teaching it to recognize your voice (which takes a few hours). I get 98-99% accuracy. The secret with ViaVoice is 1) give it as …

  • I also don't mind someone pointing out a possible resource (unless they have some kind of monetary connection to the company). As far as George Bellas goes, I'm afraid that I'd have to have a far more comprehensive website before I plunked down n…
