  • re epson: I had to install the drivers for my RX300, the built in drivers didnt support it. re lexmark: why dont you share it off of your mac? Or at least hook it up to your mac to install the drivers, and then put it back on the PC.

  • a) The window widgets have a one pixel black border that does not respond to clicks ( or provide visual feedback within the widget ). That pretty much sucks. b) Supporting invisible click regions is bad. Users will no longer be able to predict if…

  • My two experiences with the beach ball both arise from the app waiting on the OS for something. By far the most common for me is when an app hits swap hard ( omniweb does this a lot, I think it keeps a window open for every web page tab - uses a …

  • Does anyone have any images of old Apple prototypes. I remember seeing an image of a machine with the stylings of a Mac Plus, but headless, with a full page monitor. That was a long time ago ( bbs days I think ) and Ive never seen it again.
