  • on the other hand, the 15" panels should by now be cheap enough to reduce the entry-level iMac's price and get rid of the eMac. Apple should create something like this (although 'create' is probably the wrong word...): iMac 15" 1 GHz PowerPC G4 …

  • then try to reinstall... i have no better answer, since it works perfectly for me in 7B49. my machine's an iBook 800 12" Combo. although i don't think that there's a different version for Finder being installed on different hardware. unless: do you …

  • That's _just_ what I meant, yes... And new Finder windows open where I last left them, not somewhere funny... But also not just centered or anything. But that was like that since 10.0, iirc.

  • 7B49 feels quite finished to me on first look. Toast 5.2.1 works again. For me, most windows open where I left them the last time. For example: Finder's Preferences window. So I can't confirm what the other person up there reported. The System Pr…

  • It makes sense for Apple to slowly get rid of supporting older machine types. Both money-wise and time-wise (takes longer to support more machines in new software). The argument of being too poor to buy a new machine doesn't count. Use 10.2.x ins…
    in G3 Support for Panther Comment by fryke August 2003
  • Well, Apple should include one, anyway, only to show that the disks are NOT fragmented. Doesn't even need a 'defragment' button (or only a greyed out one). Just for the Windows- and OS9-Switchers. :P Edit: Of course you might still need a defragm…

  • In what app would you need Pantone colours that has not included their own colour palettes, anyway? At least Adobe's apps do have the Pantone libraries afaik. Need it for TextEdit? ;-)

  • I still hope the 12" PB will be replaced by something better. Only slightly larger (wider only) with a 13.5" widescreen display (1152*768, like the first TiBook had, only smaller). And, of course, DVI, two RAM-slots and a PC-Card slot. I don't se…
    in How about a new 14-inch Aluminum PowerBook? Comment by fryke July 2003
  • *Sigh...* I really, really hope Apple does the following steps until Panther's released: 1.) Strip that Brushed Metal - or make it a user's choice. 2.) Let the user decide whether to use the Kiddy Finder? or the 'real' one. 3.) Give the Labels …
    in Anyone else glad there's a new Finder interface? Comment by fryke July 2003
  • You obviously aren't very clear about what you mean. There is no such thing as _one_ linux API. X11 support is there, and C as well as C++ applications can be compiled for Panther.

  • I think Apple should try and create a law in every country that enables the country to shoot the people who think Mac OS 9 is better than Mac OS X. This would solve several problems and would end in lower bandwidth use on Mac forums. (Translation…

  • Hmm... I'm tired and have been working for too long, but wouldn't it be cool to have some software translate DVD video into ASCII art so you could play a movie in Terminal? Nice transparent moving ASCII pictures. :P

  • Classic? Wasn't that something that you would start via some SysPrefs Pane or automatically by installing and running some strange old software? I can't really remember any more... :P
    in I finally upgraded to OS X Comment by fryke May 2003
  • I've never heard Steve Jobs come on stage and say: "Okay, we have a lame PowerBook upgrade." Calling the year the 'year of the portable' meant several things. I'm sure you're aware of this, but maybe you're not. I'll repeat it anyway: Inside of Appl…

  • Everytime we're waiting for screenshots or builds to appear, someone claims to have found a 'bug' in a leaked screenshot. It's ALWAYS the same 'bug'. It's always the copyright years. It's been like that since the early Copland builds, really. Just f…
    in Panther Screenshots...? ... Comment by fryke April 2003
  • The responsiveness of the system does _not_ go down if you open more apps. Mac OS X handles that quite gracefully. However, if you start to switch between all of the open apps very, very fast, you'll notice that there'll be quite a bit of harddrive/…
