  • In theory, any other app should be able to use the central address book, so a future - hypothetical - version of outlook express for OSX might use it, or a reminder app such as iCal might call up a picture of the person you're meeting and so on.
  • it's interesting to speculate on exactly who copied who and whether it was friendly or not. I suspect the IE team copied OSX as I'm sure OSX has been in development longer than IE5. I remember on some other forum the head of IE development at MS say…
  • [quote]I assume the last ones are Traditionnal and simplified Chinese, but could you me tell what's the language under Japanese ? (9th one from the beginning) May be Korean ? Chinese: yes; Korean: yes
  • Utter rubbish. At my company we have four OSX users: Although we all ordered OSX 10.2 mine turned up first and after I installed it everyone else couldn't wait for their Discs and installed my copy. No problems. no polling, no nothing.
  • *I'd* be interested!! Care to share - and shhh! - we won't tell Kittylitter!
  • I heard that OSX.2 will feature an ftp client... anybody have the scoop on that? There's nothing I could see on Think Secret or Apple about it... Transmit is driving me nuts: the last few bytes take longer to send than the preceeding kilobytes!…
  • No idea if there is a limit, but you could use Suitcase to keep everything under control (even thougfh when adding thousands of fonts to Suitcase in OSX, the app kept crashing whenever it came across a font it didn't like!! I wish there was a bet…
  • I'd be happy if I could just get rid of the stripes! They are my biggest pet peeve about the interface! *Please* Apple give us an opportunity to get rid of them!! I know there are third party themes out there (there's a really cool looking "Milk…
  • In Internet Explorer 5.2 for OSX you can turn off the Quartz text rendering (which looks better on some sites, but anything that uses 9px verdana looks crap). Simply go to the preferences and select Interface Extras and uncheck the Enable Quartz tex…
  • I likethe idea of a milk theme. But if there's something more than anything else I want, it's to get rid of those goddam stripes. I hate those stripes more than anything and it's probab;y the one thing other than missing apps - that stopped me …
  • When have you ever known Microsoft to turn off a revenue stream? Office X might only be a small part of the MS empire, but it's a profitable part, unlike, say, the X-Box...
  • [quote]Originally posted by Brad: One of the many UI problems with tabs has already reared its ugly head: There *should* be ten tabs here. Where are the rest? Where is the CURRENT tab? As the window gets narrower, tabs just disappear. BAD UI…
  • I totally agree with just about every point you've made.
  • Personally I made the swap to InDesign a while ago, but we used XPress where I work until recently: today I sent off my first InDesign print job to our printer. He grumbled but accepted the job. It'll be interesting to see how he copes with it and p…
  • They look like Stock images to me, rather than Wallpaper, and were probably matted into the images, as photographs of actual screens can have unwanted reflections and look a bit washed out.
  • Analog Clock, Digital Clock and Calendar were all written by Arlo Rose, one of the creators of Konfabulator!!
  • You can never have enough FireWire drives! ;p
  • Okay - I'm now trying konfabulator at home, and it's still showing the date as being tomorrow! Is there some kind of fundemental flaw with the app? I find it hard to believe that both my work Mac, my G4 and my ibook are all incorrectly configured - …
  • This AWESOME... just one thing: anybody know why the analogue clock, the digital clock and the calendar all think that it's *Tuesday* rather than Monday. I can't see any way of changing that in the prefs. I'm in the UK if that makes any differe…
  • Sometimes Illo slows down to an unbearable crawl that fills me with wide-eyed panic when a deadline is breathing down my neck. So I'd suggest Adobe rip the guts out of this puppy and replace it with a turbo speedmaster. It's the least they can do. …
