One thing that really surprises me is how many desktops everyone has. I only

That's true. I just got my newest vintage Mac, a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet, a few
days ago, and despite it being 12 years old the battery still lasts about three
hours. Now, I know that certainly isn't the norm, but considering that the rest

Well, i can understand your point of view, because i used to be like that

Will appreciate some tidbits on how to print to PDF so that it preserves the
selected 'paper' size (via page set-up in Office) - not the (probably)
default 8.5x11.
I don't seem to find where any other size can be attributed to the PDF
output - it always shows-up as 8.5x11, even when the original

While I've never cared much for the System 7 look, I agree that the Platinum
theme of OS 8 and 9 is great. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that Platinum is
my favorite operating system theme of all time. And while the strict OS 8 and 9
Platinum theme may have the problems you describe, I think

I also miss those sounds in 9, especially the 'clacking' when scrolling

except with the blue Spotlight icon and a matching spot on the opposite side
