A folder action that creates a sticky note?

It seems kind of odd. How does a novice user know that they can click left or right? There are no visual cues, and as far as I can tell, no physical ones either. I can already hear all the calls from parents and grandparents asking what's going o…

I think this might turn out to be one of Microsoft's mistakes, and an example of how Steve Jobs believes the sales people are running the show: "We have plans in the next generation for something even higher-end in Office that we call Office Prem…

Quote: but not if it worked the way as I describe above. I don't see where your post adresses the problem, but it's really irrelevant. I believe you that the problem is addressible, I just don't think the user should have any visibility into the…

Kickaha, are you speaking from the point of view of a developer? I'm speaking from the user's point of view. My argument is that a user should not have to deal with any sort of manager. Quote: Mac users have always had to remove applications fro…

Quote: "Would you like to cleanly remove/uninstall this application?" Y/N and for elron there could also be a check box "Keep prefference file". Who in their right mind will say "NO, I want to messily uninstall this application?" I'd be grate…

What debris is left? I suppose caches and preferences, but if an application is leaving other stuff around, then it's not really playing nice. I'd really hate to have to explain to a non-computer-savvy person how to deal with a "package manager" …

Quote: at this stage i don't think it hammers the battery too much more. My battery was pretty much useless before the upgrade, too. I'm using it for the kids, and as a way to check updates before putting them on my main Mac.

Quote: Originally posted by Squirrel_Monkey I find this strategy odd. More hours might generate more turnover than revenue. Knowing nothing about retail, I have to ask: Doesn't it make for better hours for employees? 7 am to 10 pm is 15 hours…

Toshiba, 16MB, 12ms seek, and cheap. I wasn't sure if the old drive was failing or if some other part of the hardware was going bad, so I didn't want to spend too much, but I wanted to spend enough so that I'd have something useful if it did work…

Quote: weird things like rip open my dad's iBook g4 933mhz and mod in a new hard disk You too? I just recently put in a 5400rpm 40GB drive in my old clamshell 433MHz iBook.

Quote: namely because they [ElGato] have no way of controlling the cable/sat box. I didn't say they were a great alternative, just the closest. If you have a better product suggestion for digital TV recording and getting that to a Mac, I'd l…

The Tivo media files are DRM'ed and can't be decrypted without a Wintel box. Tivo Desktop 2.0 has the TivoToGo feature and is only available on Windows. Tivo Desktop 1.9 works on the Mac, but doesn't have TivoToGo. (Tivo Broadcaster fixed a co…

Quote: Maybe that Mac hardware test CD could clear your suspicions for hardware issue? Yes, a hardware test CD for a very old iBook would be very useful. But I don't have one. I'll probably give a new hard drive a try, and see what happens.

I have a similar problem/question: I have an old 466 Clamshell iBook that was running Panther just fine, until it started randomly panicking (Please hold down power button in a dozen languages.) By random, I mean anywhere from booting up, browsin…
