Thank you, I like the sound of this growl.
Ok, I am still very new to downloading and installing. I did some googling and
learned the following:
To Install the application, open the disk image, and double click in the
Growl.prefPane
Can someone break that down for me? I have my set up to download my disk
images to my desktop, is this a case where I should keep it in my downloads
folder? IE, I should not delete this disk image?
Once I open the disk image, then go over to the preference pain, I'm done?
Should I close that window and go over to system preferences to begin setting
up Growl?
I'm looking forward to figuring this out further. Thanks!

Hi Tracey,
Well, each case where you want to have sound on the mac is indeed possible,
but you will have to know what to do. For example, Eric Caron already wrote
about the progress bar that you can follow while a file is downloading. But
growl is another option. To answer your questions: growl comes with an
additional separate extension that you can install. So, first install growl,
familiarize yourself with it, and then install the safari extension. This will
let growl tell you when a download is complete. Regarding ejecting a usb disk:
there is a growl extension that is called hardware growler. It also comes in
the dmg bundle that growl comes in, if you download it. The hardware growler
can keep an eye on the battery status, and also notify of hardware changes such
as mounting and unmounting external partitions etc. Worth taking a look at.
Hth,
Paul.

Hi all,
Is there a way to have more sound feedback on Mac? I'm still quite new,
and I'm switching from windows, it is something that has surprised me.
For example, when downloading a program from Safari, how do I know it's
progress or when it is completed?
Also when I connected or ejected an external hard drive, I don't remember
hearing a sound.
Thank you,
Traci
