  • Will all of you quit dragging MS into these threads just to try and make current grim situations in the Mac world appear better?!?! My god - GROW UP! And for the record, the WinXP upgrade (which was a complete overhaul - as I mentioned before) was…

  • I have to agree. There should be an upgrade price. Has Steve been hanging out with Bill and friends lately? Pricey upgrades, .mac, throwing comments. I mean, Windows XP was just a $99 upgrade from Windows ME - and that was a complete and major…

    in 68k Mac Startup Icon : Time To Change? Comment by patchouli July 2002
  • I have a pocket 40GB FireWire external HD that was not properly formatted for Mac and didn't mount on the desktop when I first plugged it in. I just opened up Disk Utility (in OS X) and formatted the drive with a proper Mac setup and then it mounte…

    in Windows always is faster that OSX (in this) Comment by patchouli July 2002
  • I think launch speed is VERY important. Why wouldn't it be? To me, that's one of the things that defines a fast computer. That, internet browsing, MP3 ripping, data copying, window resizing and so on and on. You know, things the average user doe…

  • I will never understand why people use those dreadful Norton applications?! PC or Mac - your computer is better of without them.

  • Am I the only one who thinks OS X is not only easier than OS 9, but is more logical? Maybe it's because I was never a fan of the older Mac OS systems - I just think X is great and hoping it gets faster and less quirky with it's next update. Sure X…
    in WTF happened to our OS? Comment by patchouli April 2002
  • I had no idea about any of this! Thanks for the heads up - I downloaded MacJanitor and will run it once per week. When I ran it, it only took a minute so I am assuming OS X did this on it's own when my Mac was left on very late the other night. I…
    in Somthing i noticed.... Comment by patchouli April 2002
  • When Operating Systems get more advanced and contain more features, they tend to appear slower - but only on dated equipment. The difference is, on the Wintel side, there is updated and extremely fast hardware that meets and exceeds the OS requirem…
    in Shouldn't OS's get faster? Comment by patchouli April 2002
  • Windows does not get slower at all! That's not true. My system was MUCH faster after upgrading to Windows XP - and that was an 'upgrade' on a puny PII 400MHz! The entire system was snappier in addition to startup and shutdown times. Perhaps WinM…

    in 10.1.4! Comment by patchouli April 2002
  • I am fairly new to OS X and not at all an Apple apologist or whatever you want to call it. In fact, I use both Windows XP and OS X. Anyway, I have been using my iMac (new classic SE, 700MHz 1GB Ram) for over a month and I have to say that I ha…

  • My iTunes (2.04) does not do that at all. My cursor never moves or hides at all. Also, i am trying to see the dock bug - but I am not sure I know what you mean!

  • Wow, this is a great app! I agree, Apple should really ditch sherlock and incorporate this program into OS X (adding local drive searches). I am blown away at the search features (and the results without the junk). It's great to get movie times, …
