  • Apple shouldn't buy Quark, but I wouldn't mind them borrowing it for a few years, long enough to at least give XPress a half-decent interface. Print and design shops are among the most conservative markets out there. (And it's a good thing, other…
    in Increasing the OSX userbase and then some... Comment by nonsuch September 2002
  • Jaguar has been a pretty mixed bag for me. Bootup is just as slow as 10.1 and login is interminable, even after running the Permissions Repair utility and fsck. Mail doesn't work (that is, it launches but won't display a mailbox window), TextEdit no…
    in General thoughts thread on Jaguar Comment by nonsuch September 2002
  • It would be awesome if the car had a jaguar-like paint job, with faux jaguar fur on the seats ... getting something that tasteless would make Jobs' head explode.
    in Anyone else here about the gift for SJ? Comment by nonsuch August 2002

    in Minor wierd things about Jaguar 6C115 Comment by nonsuch August 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by iBrowse: The only real problem that I have found with applications not working in 10.2 (besides the few mentioned above, like carracho) is that Apple Remote Desktop will not work. I even reinstalled it twice, but with n…
    in Seen any problems going from 10.1.5 to 10.2? Comment by nonsuch August 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by reynard: But what worries me is that in the promos I've seen from Apple, they don't mention a speed improvement. Could be I've missed a reference to better speed but at the least, it's not prominently displayed. Read …
    in Just how fast is Jaguar? Comment by nonsuch July 2002
  • Is there some bona fide intelligence as to what Omniweb 5.0 is going to be like? Is speed definitely the priority? (I think when it comes to OW I'd take CSS compliance over speed right now.)
    in Web browsing speed in Jaguar Comment by nonsuch July 2002
  • Omniweb is my browser of choice; my main beef with it is that it's often dog-slow, especially with lots of windows open. The beauty of native Quartz rendering is worth a little speed hit. Chimera is looking good, but it's too unstable to rely on qui…
    in what is your favorite browser in OsX?? Comment by nonsuch June 2002
  • Nothing scary about it. Fsck is a standard Unix command for cleaning up drive errors. I had the exact same problem you did and running fsck cleared it right up. I don't know why there's no GUI way to run it ... maybe it doesn't work while the upp…
    in volume header needs minor repairs Comment by nonsuch March 2002
  • Go easy on the man, JYD. I'd be perfectly happy to use the Dock as an exclusive Apple Menu substitute (I'm not one of those old-timers clamoring for the return of the Apple Menu--in fact I never cared for it much), except that whenever I right-click…
    in OS X 10.2 Comment by nonsuch March 2002
  • You can also resize the O/S panel from the bottom right corner and the app will remember whatever you set it to.
    in My big complaint with X Comment by nonsuch February 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by crawlingparanoia: It'd be nice if the apps got sorted alphabetically automatically. That would suck. One of the Dock's best features is that it allows me to sort my icons however I want, even for apps that are runnin…
    in Do you like the Dock yet? Comment by nonsuch February 2002
  • I keep wondering if there's some kind of relation between the delay in RealPlayer for OS X and the upcoming MPEG 4-supporting QuickTime 6. Since Real is also committed to supporting MPEG-4, could they be waiting on/working with Apple to nail down th…
    in Beta version of RealPlayer? Comment by nonsuch February 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by EmAn: Is restarting really needed? IIRC, USB Overdrive installs kernel extensions, which need to be loaded into the operating system to function. Hence the restart.
    in USB Overdrive Comment by nonsuch February 2002
  • It's out! Go for it.
    in USB Overdrive Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • I think the main difference in philosophy between Mac and Windows, and the difference that still keeps me on the Mac despite the "advances" in Windows, is this: Both operating systems are, by necessity, quite complex and powerful, enabling users …
    in Is OS X really easier than XP? Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • Kaleidoscope couldn't be "ported" to OS X: it affects the system at such low levels it would basically need to be rewritten from scratch, and the classic Kaleidoscope took a lot of fiddling and reverse-engineering to get it as good as it is. Reading…
