I knew it! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I just installed Plasma Tunnel... very cool! It would be perfect if they'd just add the

I'm in a similar situation. We have hundreds of fonts at work, which I can drop into the OS X font folder, no problem, but if any of them are corrupt, MS Word crashes. I have no problem with ATM Deluxe running in Classic mode. For OS X, though, i…

The hold up is that they want to include every feature that RealPlayer for OS 9 has. Apparently, they're still trying to figure out the best ways to lock up OS X.

Supposedly, the code already exists in OS X for virtual desktops, but Apple didn't activate it for the shipping version. At least, that's the rumor coming from the closed-beta testers.

There's not too many OS X-only apps out there yet. Everything is either Carbon or Classic. I just got Office v.X yesterday, and I'm enjoying it. I was glad to finally dump OS X's Mail app and get back to Outlook Express (now Entourage). Mail show…

I wonder if Jobs ever has meetings where he discusses the trouble with Tribble. Ba dum bum. You think Guy has ever heard that one?

I switched to OS X full-time when 10.1 came out. I didn't have much use for it until then because it didn't connect to my NT server. For the most part I like it. It's not as bulletproof as I had hoped it would be. The Classic enviroment, while it…

I still hate that little window widget in the upper right hand corner... honestly, how often do you need to hide the address bar (or whatever it's called)? A Windowshade button would have been far, FAR more useful. As far as the other stuff... ya…

lol!

What are you looking to do? Small, personal-type stuff? Filemaker Pro is a great database and ease to use, though it's more of a flat-file database. MySQL is available for Darwin/OS X. Very powerful relational database, but very steep learning cu…

IOW, you have to set up the MS Exchange email server in order to use the Mac Outlook client. It doesn't support internet standards POP, SMTP, and IMAP (unlike Outlook XP for Windows). How well it works, I don't know, but you have to run it in the Cl…

Another option is Photshop, you can set up an Action, and then either Batch process an entire folder of images from the File: Automate menu, or you bind the action to an FKey (like F1) and then run the script on each one after you crop to reduce the…

Apple missed the boat on the 3D graphics revolution, this would definitely be a chance to redeem themselves. OTOH, how would that purchase jibe with other vendors of 3D Mac software? We see companies like Adobe, Avid, and Media100 being bruised b…

If you need 100% compatibility with client documents, there's no substitute for MS Word. The problem is, suppose something (like the aforementioned graphic) drops out during translation. According to Murphy's Law, Volume 7, section XII, subparagraph…

What about AppleWorks? I know that previous versions of ClarisWorks imported MacWrite files.

Nah, he's saying that buying a new system forces you to use a newer OS and breaks compatibility with some old Mac titles. For example, I don't think G3's can run System 7, and G4's can't run OS 8. I haven't heard of a PowerPC emulator, the only t…

I think he gave you a company line. Believe me, the question of a Mac port comes up frequently, they know the Mac community wants this program. And graphic design is one of the core user groups of the Mac, of course there's a market here. The que…

I don't buy the Nintendo rumor. The Big N already has a handheld game platform, what could they possibly get out of writing games for iPod?

1) Halo 2) Half-Life and its various add-ons (still an awesome FPS) 3) Metal Gear Sold 2 4) Jedi Knight 2 5) (uhh... who cares! The first four would keep me plenty busy in twenty oh two!)
