  • [quote]Originally posted by stimuli: True, but Apple shouldn't cater exclusively to the new computer user. One of my annoyances w/ OSX is the candy coated, childish, lamer oversized icons. I agree, the favourites icon is a little nauseating. I …
  • openstep has them - I don't know if NextStep did too. Only thing is, although they're good for the more advanced user, I can imagine a lot of Apple's target audience might get lost on the wrong desktop and try to open the same app again and again…
  • They're a shedload more Apple-friendly than Ars, for a start. I agree, the piece and the follow-up were a trifle dumb in my opinion; however, it is interesting from my point of view as someone who took to the new interface pretty quickly and foun…
  • I, for one, hate windowshading. I don't think I've ever shaded windows without then having to juggle the bars about over and over. [ 01-28-2002: Message edited by: Guitarbloke ]
  • You're right, OS X is the killer app in itself; which explains why I use it even though most of my computing involves Pro Tools and Adobe Pagemill. OS 9 seems buggy and messy now; and IT MAKES MP3s SKIP. Eugh. Edit: oh yeah, and Space Trippe…
  • Like I said, "Pro Tools Free". It's the free hardware independant version - only does 8 tracks of audio and 32 tracks of MIDI (I think), but it's got a bunch of good-quality audio plugins and it's great for demoing songs on a tight budget - you can…
  • For OS 9.x, nothing beats Pro Tools Free on price/performance If only they'd do an OS X version
  • [quote]Originally posted by Steve Jobs: 10.2 will come with Sherlock 3 and Improved Dock 2 Technology and cost 200 dollars. There will also be a new version of CyberDog so an entire new generation of Mac users can wonder what the hell it does an…
  • SparkME is great for the price , and pretty zippy compared to the shareware sound recording apps. On the other hand, there don't seem to be any free VST plugins around that work with OSX - has anyone seen a half-decent compressor or limiter ab…
  • You can stop it in the "Classic" section of System Preferences.
  • I'd imagine that the "look" will largely be determined by the window manager you're using, right?
  • OSX has a nasty tendency to crash when using 8Mb video cards under OpenGL; iMac users running Q3A will know exactly what I mean.....Giants and the Tribes engine do the same; basically, too many textures and the card folds.

  • You're not paying Roxio for the 1s and 0s, you're paying for the serial number and the right to use whatever software they choose to let you

  • I think there's a general problem with buttons, forums and the like. 0.2.5 was the first version in which I managed to post in a forum successfully. I'm pretty sure that when this happens, almost all of the links on the page you're browsing beco…
  • 3D-accelerated games won't run at all on VPC. Hell, I have to turn the sound off to get Privateer to run half-decently
  • For recording, there's a nice 2-track free program from tcworks called "Spark". I'd suggest some sort of recording preamp with audio outs connected to the line in on the iMac - I swear by my little Tech-21 amp-simulator box; at the moment the other…
  • I've had to confiscate if from myself; it's very addictive. It's one of the real gamine "experiences", and a must for any fan of Peter Molyneux.
  • [quote]Originally posted by kcmac: What I don't understand is why is Chimera so far behind Mozilla? At a guess, because they only just started the project.
  • Set up a MIDI channel as a click track; you can chose volume and pitch; I think it's under the "MIDI" menu, but I'm in OSX right now so I can't check
