Re: screen sizes vs. reality
Amber: Maybe you just did not notice how many people on the plane watched the same movie as you did :-). Personally I prefer my new 12'' over the 15'' that I had about a year ago. It is easier to transport and I can use it even when the person in front of me reclines their seat. Display quality is quite OK and at home I use the large Apple Cinema Display. My typical use is similar to the one described by Andrew yesterday. One useful application with this small display is CodeTek VirtualDesktop Pro that enables you to define virtual desktops and assign specific applications to them. That enables me to work more efficiently by grouping applications that are typically used side by side - iPhoto and Photoshop Elements on one screen, Development Environment and Terminal on another screen etc. Just my 2 cents to this discussion. -- Honza www.lesninoviny.com - Blog z lesu a haju Pennsylvanie (.mac: musiljan) (ICQ: 134361915) (Y!: musiljan) (M: +1 610 570 9349) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Mac keyboards (was: Shift-apple-cmd-power key combo?)
You may have the keys mixed up. The Apple key is the Command key. I believe Apple should be at fault here. On PCs every key had one designation and it was perfectly clear which is which. On my PowerBook G4, UK edition: - the ctrl key is Ctrl or ^ (not labeled) - the alt key is Alt or the railway symbol - the command key is Command (not labeled) or the Apple symbol or the cloverleaf symbol - the shift key is Shift (not labeled) or the open arrow - there are two enter/return keys, each with own symbol And my personal favourite is the escape key, which is Esc, but also has a symbol (a circle with an arrow pointing out). This symbol is not present on my keyboard, but I found it (and only it) in one of the (older) programs, and its also shown in the Force Quit menu item. Took me 10 minutes to figure out which key that might be. Now, weren't Macs supposed to be easy to use...? What's the rationale behind these confusing double or triple designations?

In the Finder go to the Help menu and type in 'Symbols for special keys' and go to that help document to see all the symbols for keys.

Re: Mac keyboards (was: Shift-apple-cmd-power key combo?)
The alt was added to the option key so that people used to pc machines would know what the key did Could you elaborate on that, please? The way I see it it doesn't do the thing many PC users would expect it to do, which is activating menu items with the corresponding letter underlined. AFAIK the Alt key on the Macs is used for special characters/diacritics, which is an entirely different purpose...? And don't get me started on the following issue: the popular shortcuts in programs (Photoshop, for example) are activated: - by Ctrl (Ctrl-S) on Windows. Ctrl is the leftmost key on most PC keyboards. - by Command (Command-S) on Mac. Command is the key just left to the spacebar on Apple keyboards. - by Windows key on a PC keyboard connected to a Mac. Windows key is exactly in between the keys mentioned above. - by Ctrl key on Mac keyboard connected to a PC. Talk about confusion and inability to use your muscle memory! I don't blame any platform for this problem, and I see no simple solution to it [1], but this is 20 years after both platforms started and we're still suffering...

Re: Apple menu additions
Dean, The nice thing about using the dock is that it's a one-click operation. In OS 9's Apple Menu, you clicked the apple, went down to whatever you were choosing and clicked again. (Or was it click the apple, drag to the intended item, and then release? Or was that OS 7? Oh, well.) Even in OSX, if your application is sitting on your desktop, you have to double-click it to activate it. However, if it's in the dock, you single-click it.

Re: Mac keyboards (was: Shift-apple-cmd-power key combo?)
This is/was of course not aimed at you personally... although I can't help but wonder if the keys had just one designation each, would the likelihood of you making the same mistake be the same? because one refers to the Mac keyboard, and the other to what this key is called on other systems. I beg to disagree. Apple/cloverleaf/command key has three official designations, neither of which appears on any PC systems. Function-wise, Apple's Alt has nothing to do with Windows' Alt, etc. Even if your argument was true, what would be the reason to do that? Likely because the key is smaller physically than the command key, and it would come out 'optionalt'. At least it is on my old Sawtooth-era keyboard. (it also says Option and Alt...no 'railway' symbol. That symbol is also not on current G5 keyboards, either, which really sucks, since that make the menu designation completely unintelligible.)

Touchup paint for the Ti-book
Hi list- I was wondering if anyone has experience using the touch up paint for the Ti-book chipping syndrome. I just purchased the paint and before I use it I would like to make sure that it is done as well as it can be. The chipping on the front top edge of the machine has a rough, blistered surface. Has anyone tried sanding it down (lightly with a very fine grit) being careful of course, not to get dust between the keys? And is the paint any good? I already made the purchase but I guess that one of my daughters could paint her toe nails with it. dan_A -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Uninstalling application
Unless Adobe has an uninstaller, you'll have to go into ~/Library/Preferences and delete the prefs manually. Try trashing the prefs first, that could well solve the launching problem. I've often resorted to this, doing a command/F in the Finder using the name of any application (freeware/shareware) that I have installed and decided I don't like/want to keep, then trashing all the files that show up. I often wonder, however, if they place any sort of invisible file(s) in the system that won't show when you search for it using the command/F method.

Wallstreet loses settings
Here's my problem. I installed 10.3 on a WS 1/233 with 288MB desktop. It booted into it just fine; would sleep and wake just fine; the video wouldn't white out. It seemed pretty stable. I shut down after a day, allowing it to shut down and restart per a schedule I set. Everything worked fine. After using it for a time, I shut down for a whole day. When I restarted the darn thing booted into 9.2. Now it boots into 9 all the time. To get to 10 I have a ritual I have to go through.

Re: Uninstalling application
Hello Bob, In the Finder Search Window, click the Arrows at the left Hand end of the Search Field Box and select Visibility, then in the right hand window select Visible and Invisible Items, now click the + at the right hand side and a new search field window Opens, here select Item and enter the item name you are searching for.

Oh mega crap
At the advice of the apple genius at the local apple store I did a complete clean reinstall of OS X. Fast forward I took my iPod and plugged it in, it loaded iTunes, and thinking this would be a simple matter, when it asked if i wanted to change the library on the iPod to link it to the new iTunes library I foolishly said yes, assuming it would sync the two libraries. Now my damn iPod is empty. Is there a way to regain what was lost without reloading all those friggin cds? TIA, Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Apple menu additions
Hi Claire I use the Dock to open all my applications and I'm very happy with it. I just like the hierarchy part of the apple menu in the earlier OS's. It's just a faster way to get to things that are not used as often. I downloaded Classic Menu from the Version Tracker site. It's very simple and works great. By the way, does anyone remember Now Utilities? Isn't that where Apple got the idea in the first place? Dean Claire Hart wrote: Dean, The nice thing about using the dock is that it's a one-click operation. In OS 9's Apple Menu, you clicked the apple, went down to whatever you were choosing and clicked again. (Or was it click the apple, drag to the intended item, and then release? Or was that OS 7? Oh, well.) Even in OSX, if your application is sitting on your desktop, you have to double-click it to activate it. However, if it's in the dock, you single-click it. I missed my Apple Menu for a very short period of time before the dock became VERY intuitive. Give it a try, Claire Thanks Laurent, and Aaron. That's to bad Apple left that out. I'll take a look at the options you mentioned. Dean -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: screen sizes vs. reality
The 12 Aluminum's speakers actually have midrange and something almost passing for bass, and sound far richer, at about the same vollume as those of the Pismo. I am comparing them side by side, and the Pismo's 2 speakers don't come close to the sound provided by the 12 Al's 3 (2 regular and one midrange that Apple misnames a subwoofer).
