  • Thanks Kate. That little utility does work, but using it I found that some background process is hitting the hard disk every 15 seconds. Like clockwork. So I guess I've resigned myself to having a hard disk that's constantly spinning. Arrrr...

  • In this scenario, I don't understand the concept of "light was yellow, so the tan car NEEDED to turn." In driver's ed, I was taught that you don't turn left unless it's safe to turn, even if that means you end up in the middle of the intersection wh…

  • Wow, this is bringing back memories. My favorite animateds: Dungeon and Dragons - like, did they ever get home? Great Japanese-style animation. ALF Tales - wicked social commentary that kids wouldn't get (okay, so I watched cartoons way into my…

  • Omigod. I can't believe it. I had never used the Print Center before... it was neat that my 5700i was automatically set up without me having to do a thing. Even seems to have some more options not available in the MacOS9 driver? Can't be sure... …

    in GUI ideas for Mac OS X.3? X.5? Comment by chromos August 2002
  • I was playing with transparency using the Terminal the other day, and found it extremely useful, as I didn't have to keep flipping from app to app — I was simply referencing the needed window THROUGH the active window. I thought it would be cool …

  • I know it's a matter of personal preference, but have you tried working exclusively in column view in the Finder? There's definitely no lag when displaying the contents of any folder. And, you can switch between icon or list view and column view sim…
