Organizing Menu Bar items?
Greetings all, I am quoting from Kris re; another thread, but decided to start a new topic so as not to hijack the older one: (quote) An excellent Menu Extra which will enable you to control your sound input/output devices from the Menu Bar is called Sound Source 2.0 from Rogue Amoeba. (end quote) I tried this and it works great (keeps track of both system audio and all my 3rd party routing interfaces on the cheap) so I'll keep it around. However, doing so adds yet one more item to the Menu Bar. I use MenuMeters, Stuffit Deluxe, iLok keys, along with the myriad of OS- related menu additions (Time Machine, iSync, Bluetooth, Monitors, Spotlight, time, volume, modem, Airport, etc.). I am sure many of you also have a comparable menagerie of inserts. Here's my question: remember in OS 9 one could reorganize the Control Strip modules by pressing the Option key and sliding them around? Is there anything comparable in OSX that allows one to manage the locations of all of these Menu Bar elements? Thanks for the thoughts.

It should (people can sometimes screw up the simplest tasks) be 'Bootable', which will let you get back to 'square one' without problems. [I.E. --- Get an external 'FW case/200GB Drive' Clone the 60 GB drive to a 60GB partition on the 200GB drive. Get out the screw driver, and swap the 60GB 200GB drives (200GB in system, 60GB in external case.] At that point, you SHOULD be able to boot from the internal 200GB drive and be exactly where you were.

Facebook G3/10.4.11
I sold an iMac/500mHz with a fresh 10.4.11 to a PC user who swore he'd used the Mac OS before and now he's certain I've sold him a doorstop because he can't get into the 'new' facebook site. The guy is an IM junkie with at minimum five different services. Before he took the computer a month ago, I loaded all the individual apps he requested (with him present as we accessed them all individually and en masse) plus Adium to handle them all in one app if he chose. Now, a month later, he can't access the 'new' Facebook which apparently has its own IM service and does 'something' with photos. Their website doesn't appear to have any sort of FAQ for requirements -- and I've just spent the last hour frustrated on the phone with the guy. He can't live without his facebook messaging -- all the other services are working, the 'new' facebook was even working a week ago but now he can't access. I had him download and install Firefox on the off-chance Safari was the problem, and he still can't access the 'new' site. I'm not a facebook user so could use some help from someone who is. Is there a requirement with the 'new' facebook that would stop a G3 with the updated Safari/Firefox for 10.4.11, on a DSL line, from connecting to their service? I really don't want to have to leave my warm little abode to trek 30 miles all uphill through 10 feet of ice and snow, in the middle of a blizzard, wearing only threadbare socks if a simple phone call would suffice. He's behind an ISP firewall so I can't remotely connect to his computer and can't remember the website that might make that possible... connect2me or somesuch.

It appears they do have to slaved together, since I only see one ATA slot on the motherboard. I do have an external Firewire hard drive attached to the G4 now, but I want to dedicate that to an iBook I have. It's built for two (one master, one slave), but you can expand on that. Take out the zip drive and put one there (slaved to the CD/DVD drive). Who uses zip drives anymore? Or if you have no zip drive, then you have an empty slot just waiting for a hard drive. The IDE cable probably even has an unused connector. Put in a PCI card for ATA or SATA and add two (or more) in addition to those. Or one of each card and two of each drive. There's room for six drives across the bottom if you have double-height drive sleds. You might want to work on the cooling if you add that many though... and probably upgrade the power supply to handle 'em all.

I was thinking about Little Snitch Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware. Not what you wanted ...

All items that put icons or information on the menu bar on the right hand side of the screen. You can rearrange any item on the right side, including Apple supplied items, by holding down the command key and dragging the item. To rearrange items in the dock, you just have to drag them. To rearrange the menus on the left requires serious hacking, and I do not know if it is even doable under X. That is part of what makes Mac OS, Mac OS. To know that the menus always start out from the left as Apple, (program), File, Edit, and what will most likely be under those menus. Len I found this to be correct, thanks, Len. As mentioned just earlier, Stuffit has anchored their Magic Menu addition to the Menu Bar in a hard left (that is, furthest left of all the positioned icons which are hosted on the right section of the Bar) when the Mac's desktop/Finder is the active app. The left side is occupied by the (7) contextual menus, which as you point out, are rock solidly stayed put in their respective places - good for me..

Re: HP Printers not compatible?-was which printer do you like?
Mine is a HP 1210xi all-in-one. It's probably 5 years old. I already knew that scanning isn't supported in Leopard. But then the printer just quit with error messages whenever I try to use it. At this rate I feel it's best to just buy a new printer. It was only about a week ago that they told me that the printer itself won't work on Leopard. I'm leaning towards the Kodak. The ink is inexpensive and I don't need a workhorse printer. I use it to print out images on T-shirt transfer paper to use in my polymer clay work, and I print out game cheat sheets, invoices, etc. If I want a high quality photo I would probably go to Walgreens or someplace.

Why not use the Ethernet port on the LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer? I have my 16/600 PS plugged into an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11N).
