  • I guess that's the attitude that results in the dumbing down of language. People who don't care are annoyed by those that do care. Oh well. The reverse is also true. On to another variation.... My last name ends with an "s". People are confuse…

    in Finder Question - Viewing Folders and Files Comment by gregg August 2009
  • Glad you weren't offended. Some people hold back on giving detailed "steps" if they aren't sure the questioner is new to Macs. I try to read between the lines and guess. By the way, you need a [quote] at the beginning of what you're quoting for i…
    in Finder Question - Viewing Folders and Files Comment by gregg August 2009
  • Well, I only tried one folder to be sure it worked, and it did. Obviously, I didn't have any files with those a-e suffixes, or any "specially named" folders. In fact, I didn't know such folders exist. I assume you aren't referring literally to the n…

  • If no one here knows, got an Apple Store nearby? (or any store that sells Macs) Drop in and test drive Info on any file you like.

    in College graduate cant find job, demands tuition refund Comment by gregg August 2009
  • Can't say that I have. Not sure where that is stored. Maybe com.apple.KeyboardViewerServer.plist ? F8 doesn't work, or the combos to switch to another Space, or both (all three)? Do you have a "hot corner" set to activate Spaces? Of course, th…
