  • I'll take Finder, Rendezvous, noncrashing Mail and a working printing technology. Please pass all instances of brushed metal, iApps and SpinningTearDropOfDeath to the next customer. I wonder what Moki hinted as the super technology in the kernel?…

  • All this "extreme" (LOL) business would be void if Apple had not opted for the Quartz/Aqua thing. This is the main cause for todays trouble and for alienating Mac users. What I still am failing to see are the benefits of Quartz/Aqua. We still run…
    in QUARTZ HARDWARE ACCEL!! Comment by kate May 2002
  • Maybe they put in CoreVideo? Hm, right now I could not care less what might go into the kernel or not, if it is not another instance of iPhoto-resource-hog that's moved into the kernel, for God's sake! But I'd pretty much appreciate a clean solu…

  • Hello old mate! Sorry to see you in trouble, but you're not alone with this one. Same memory loosing effects here. So I am practically spending my time in list view 99% without background images or colours. And it keeps rearranging my drives on t…

  • Try VueScan as it is supporting a range of scanners. Check the developers supported device list, I know it doesn't support my scanner, but maybe yours. I am left with my Canon scanner in the arms of Mac OS 9.2.2 .
    in OS X scanner drivers Comment by kate January 2002
  • You need a bit more than that: The Unix links must point to the correct locations, which your copy does not provide, file permissions may be an issue too, all invisible UNIX files must be copied. While there are some scripts out there that cla…
    in Copy OS X drive to another Comment by kate January 2002
  • What's wrong? The Finder is! That sucker came to a grinding halt six times in the last hour. Force restart Finder all day while performing easy tasks, the cpu gets hardly more than 40 per cent. As Amorph said it's a pile of hacked wais…
    in Whats Wrong in OS X Comment by kate January 2002
  • Well, actually, no, there isn't anything like it yet for X. But you can check some sites for themes that work under X. Like these: http://www.doghouseonline.com/http://www.desktopper.net/izawa/http://homepage.mac.com/groovyt

    in State of 10.2? Comment by kate January 2002
  • 10.1 a free download? How so? Hundreds of MB via a phone line? Come on! I did not hear Steve mention anything like it. Not even Mac OS 8 is a free download. Huh?
