  • [quote]Originally posted by Chucker: Disk Warrior will be OS X soon, I've heard. Noton Disk Doc will already run in OSX, but you can only repair Non Boot drives, to repair the boot disk you have to start up using the Norton CD. This boot's in OS…

    in 68k predacessor to Mac OS X??? Comment by mediaman September 2002
  • OSX for X86 is a Lifeboat for Apple. It's a last ditch backup plan, if everything else fails use this.
    in OSX on Intel? No really, its "marklar" Comment by mediaman September 2002
  • I've just got a 'release date of this software has been delayed' e-mail from Amazon. I wonder if this is for the implementation of UK plugins for Sherlock? I can live in hope at least. [ 08-13-2002: Message edited by: Mediaman ]
    in 10.2 Sherlock outside the US... Comment by mediaman August 2002
  • Apple has always had a list of supported CD burners on there site. It's not Apples job to provide drivers for every single CD burner ever, That's the manufactures job. I went for the cheapest burner I could find (Light-on internal) It has anti skip…

  • I like how it now has a 'timer' after you select shutdown or restart, you at least know the computer hasent frozen up at this point now.

  • The only problem with the 'All Norton stuff is Crap' policy on OSX is that NAM is the only 'working' Antivirus app for OSX, Virex is a joke(no automated drive scanning, installing the virus updates involves a restart, etc).

  • They arn't weird DIVX's, mainstream stuff. A certain film about someone getting bitten by a Spider & his resulting adventures on one disk and a film in which Kevin Spacy plays Kevin Spacy and begins with K on 2 disks. He has others bu…
    in Do DivXs work in OSX yet? Comment by mediaman June 2002
  • How are all these people here saying they can get DivX to work 'perfectly' & 'flawlessly' on OSX doing it. Cos I sure can't. I lent a few CD's with DivX Avi's on them from my brother (he plays them perfectly on his PC) and I have tried evrythin…
    in Do DivXs work in OSX yet? Comment by mediaman June 2002
  • I believe it will be a full price upgrade (the same price as the old 'Boxed' OS9 upgrades) It would be nice of Apple to give the people who got the Public Beta a discount as an award for 'The long slog' and as a mark that the OS has finally sort of…

  • [quote]Originally posted by steve666: Is anyone here using AOL for OSX? Do you know that AOL UK has compleatly abandoned the OSX version, yep AOL in the UK don't do OSX, not even a beta. I don't care as I don't use AOL but it's sad non the less.

  • The great thing about the OSX version of Suitcase is that it works both in OSX & Classic apps. allowing you to have the same selection of fonts without having them in both font folders
    in Annoying font behavior in OS X and Classic... Comment by mediaman February 2002
  • There is an OSX version of Virex. But unlike the 9 version it doesn't auto scan disks etc. So it's a bit crippled.

    in Converting Mac OS X Update CD to Full Install CD Comment by mediaman December 2001
  • I installed both bits of this (the X windows thing & the gimp) but I could never get it to work. I just hope that installing all the X windows stuff didn't funk with the rest of the OSX install, cos I can't find a way to do an un-install.
