Tiger Launch
Regarding the ease of starting programs under the Apple icon in OS 9, you can have a similar set-up in OS X by using the free application, Tiger Launch. I have been using it for a while on my Ti Book. It's really nice. Link: http://ranchero.com/tigerlaunch/ Anton __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Setting up a prev. owned iBook Was: Re: Questions: OS Upgrades, browser/Mail/News choice
Hi, I don`t think any of the music is from the Apple Store... Aase :) If thats the law there, then thats the law there, and perhaps the music isnt from the Apple store at all, in which case any agreement with Apple would not exist... As for Tikkun Olam, its a term that has been used and abused for decades to justify all sorts of behavior that has nothing to do with actual Tikkun Olam. I havent read fully through every post on this, so if I missed where it said it was ALL from the Itunes store, then I apologize for butting in. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iTunes in Norway on iBook from Denmark (Was: Setting up a prev. owned iBook)
Hi Al, or maybe it was Bruce? HmmmI think my overactive track pad ate the quotation of the previous post... I had to save the mail yesterday, as I had problems with my ISP and couldn`t get on line... BTW, I didn`t buy the iBook in Denmark. I bought it in here in Norway. I considered buying one in Denmark, but then I found an ad for this online, and found out that the guy lives in my home town and was here at the moment even if he is a student abroad (that is why he had one with an International keyboard). Shoot, I type too fast, so now the track pad ate a whole paragraph, but I reacted too late to undo it... I have no problems accessing the music at all, I just have to be logged into his account. I am enjoying it a lot!!! I can`t wait to get more music loaded onto it, all I have then I can add some now and then. I really can`t wait to get the airport express base, so I can get it connected to my stereo too. For now I am borrowing two USB loudspeakers. I will just have to move all the music to a different folder and store it on an external HDD while I re-install system X so I am sure to get rid of all signs of french language and such which I can`t seem to get rid of. That is the main problem. Since the iBook now is mine, I would like to have only my own account and delete his. I could of course just have kept his and used that as the main account, but... I might have done that if the french language windows didn`t keep popping up, he used french on it since he is bilingual. It will be wonderful to get the right keyboard also, but it sure cost enough, it ended out being around $175. Does not make too much sense as you can get one on eBay for around $20, but of course there is no Norwegian ones there. I could not find a used one and as Apple told me you could not get these, if it broke you would have to buy a new computer (!!!), I was real eager to just get it ordered and get it in place. I must admit that I got a bit nervous for a while. I think that I will write a formal complaint to Apple about the misinformation by one of their employees though. I think it is one thing that a person make a mistake, but I told her that I knew for a fact that it was not correct, but she would not listen at all. She just seemed to get more and more stubborn as I explained how I had checked this issue before buying this computer, that I had an offer to buy one from a different company etc. That kind of customer service I really do not think is good enough. If I had believed her, she could have cost me a lot of money, I would have given up this computer, as I really depend on a Norwegian keyboard. Oh well... The only thing I have a tough time with, is the track pad. I hope I find a way to deal with that. When I get the airport express, things will be as close to perfect as they possibly can. I would love it if I could use the TV as a second screen, and know I read about some gadget you can use, but I can`t seem to find back to the information...

Poor Apple Service Was: Re: Painting AlBook ???
Hi Larry, Yes, you can really wonder. I have made notes, I have the exact time for the call etc. and I really want to send a complaint to Apple. Have no idea where to send it to though, and to who there I should address it. I mean, if I had trusted her, I most likely would have given up this computer, I would have had to sell it again. I could have lost a lot of money on the whole thing. Now I have a keyboard on the way, they mailed me and said they had received it and sent it on to me with the airport express base... We are all humans, and I do not have any problems with a person making an error, if they just are a bit humble. When you tell them in a nice way that you know for a fact that what she is saying is incorrect, that you have checked this before and that you already got an offer for one from a different company - and she still will not give in or at least check the issue over again That is when I got really annoyed and I told her that I was really unhappy with the level of the service she was giving, that I thought it was really poor... She deserves to get a clear message from her superiors that this is not good enough, and I would not mind a written reply to a complaint... :) Aase :) Anyway, maybe contacting Apple would be a better idea (Maybe they had a dead iBook to pull one from)?. I not only didn`t get any help there, the lady flat out gave me incorrect information. She told me that it was not possible to change the keyboard, and no way would she listen to me. When I asked her What if a person`s keyboard breaks?, she told me that if that was the case, the person would have to buy a new computer. Sometimes one wonders how some people retain their jobs...

Re: iTunes in Norway on iBook from Denmark (Was: Setting up a prev. owned iBook)
Hi Bruce, I would love it if that was possible, but I cannot find any such option in that control panel. There is a box you can check so it supposedly should ignore it if you hit the track pad by accident, but that option is checked, and it still happens all the time. If I could only get it to not work when I am actively typing, that would be just great. I never had this problem with any of the other track pads... A lot of the times when it happens, I really can`t understand that I even touched it. I have my hand over it, but that is something else. I am wondering if I have to cover it with something, so that it won`t be activated just because my hands are warm and just over it...

OSX vs OS9
Noted someone commenting about how it felt returning to OS9.x on a Kanga. Its taken me about a year to get accustomed to OSX after holding out and hanging on to OS9 for maybe a bit too long. Only things I miss are: Find by Content searching (still haven't got it to index the whole drive on the Pismo. This will probably take an absolutely clean reinstalling of the OS to straighten out.) More importantly, I vaguely remember that OS9 used to report the number of files and total size of the trash contents in the empty trash confirmation dialog under OS9. Furthermore, Copy Agent (last useful scraps of Speed Doubler) used to report the specific files in the trash in the empty dialog under OS9. It may have even permitted selection of the files to be deleted or that may have been yet another add-on for my OS9 systems. Anything similar for OSX? Standard trash empty dialog says nothing about the trash contents. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
