  • Quote: Originally posted by costique From what I heard on some IRC channel, Apple can't even stop supporting G3 (remember, they are still selling G3 iBooks). So I expect Panther will run on G3 and G4 without any problems. Technically, there is ab…

    in NMR speaks. OSX to us "Piles"? Comment by engpjp April 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Panther Think of it as "minimize back into a pile" rather than just MiP. It's not "...into a pile" - we are talking about a single window (or information box, or file selector in some cases). Piles are something ve…

  • Quote: Originally posted by torifile Windowshading and minimize in place are two very different things. One was a pretty lame way of dealing with no method to get things out of the way easily and the other is an iconified version of the window an…

  • Designing computer hardware is generally faster than writing software, even if it involves making a special ASIC. Designing a new CPU or GPU, however, is far more demanding than making a new OS. OSX has fallen in the Windows trap, becoming depen…

  • A major ease-of-use point emphasized during the presentation of iChat was that the userÂ*can log on using her mac.com username. Now that users has to pay in order to retain that username, REFusers need to become AOL users to get access to iChat.…

  • Part of the problem with designing handheld devices is that the basic components are square (HD, screen) and thus only with difficulty can be fit into an ergonomically correct enclosure. Aesthetically, your design is based on classical geometry (…
    in iPod mockup... Comment by engpjp January 2003
  • No, unfortunately it's not built into OSX. Having tried out several shareware solutions, I was directed to Youpi Keys, a freeware program that is both stable and versatile. It enables you to assign key shortcuts to all kinds of commands and actions,…

  • Last night I tried to run the combo 10.2.3 updater, hoping against hope that it would put in the missing System Preference panes and reveal the hidden? startup items folder. Alas, no. Could somebody please help me out?

  • According to Apple's Technotes, WallStreet cannot properly address RAM modules that use RAM units (each black chip) larger than 128Mbit. I have 512MB RAM in my WallStreet; my first attempt at this was with 256MB RAM modules that each had 8 units…

  • A supplementary function would be the ability to work with a virtual screen that is *larger* than the physical screen, especially in the downwards direction. Much as I desire a >17" screen, it probably won't be forthcoming in the near future;…

    in OSX amazes me - and other implications.. Comment by engpjp January 2003
  • It's interesting that quite a few of the suggestions bear upon iApps, rather than the OS... Apple will work very hard to keep these two separate - in the minds of the public. But more and more of the underlying technologies will, in the future, be i…
