Think of this more as Mac OS X 2.0. With an upgraded kernel, major changes to the user interface, and added features (including more iApps), that's a more accurate description based on the numbering scheme we were used to back in the old days. Then,…

You're not the only one...

Yes, it's possible. You need a little shareware program called CandyBar. You can download it from

Brad, if you e-mail them to dearreid at mac dot com, I'll throw them in my public folder for the viewing pleasure of those so inclined.

You can forward a domain name to any address you want. So, for example, I could make http://homepage.mac.com/dearreid

Along similar lines... The original NeXT OS ran on an expensive cube-shaped computer, which shipped with no floppy drive, using a Motorola 68K processor. So, NeXT has been ported from 68K to Intel to PowerPC on its road to becoming Mac OS X. S…

In my experience, Jaguar will go to sleep at the login screen following your Energy Saver settings IF you've got Personal File Sharing turned off.

I and a few others on the Apple Support discussion board have had difficulty getting our machines to fall asleep on their own since installing 10.1.5. Even with Jaguar, my iBook won't go all the way to sleep if Personal File Sharing is turned on…

My iBook 500 took over a minute to shut down today (the first time I've bothered to count). This is Definitely much longer than 10.1, and ridiculously longer than 9. Also, the thing won't go to sleep on it's own, no matter how I set the Energy Saver…

I want the option of having to double-click an icon to launch the applications sitting in the dock. Just a check-box in the preference pane is all I'm asking for; it doesn't have to be a default configuration. I'm constantly hitting iPhoto or App…

Well, there seems to be a huge difference of opinion as to what is usable or not, in terms of speed. On my Bondi iMac (233/288MB), the Public Beta was very slow. But, I still used it. I also used 10.0. With 10.1, I got an enormous speed increase, an…

Funny. I find that Internet Explorer crashes more than any other OS X browser. A lot of unexpected quits, like every time I go to the front page of VersionTracker. And, the new Carbon font smoothing acts funny at certain point sizes, adding extra sp…

Sure, it's slow. But at least it crashes a lot.

OmniWeb will work with most iTools functions, I've found, as long as it identifies itself as MSIE. Actually, there are a lot of sites out there, including several from MSN, that will give you the same trouble. As long as the browser tells the site t…
