Hello to all. I did not change anything that I can recall but I believe mail might have a memory leak. I have been noticing that now when I start mail it takes up over 100 percent of my cpu. I have a sample; of the process which I will attach to this message via dropbox. A restart does not fix

According to the list of start-up commands on the Apple support site, holding eject or f12 or the mouse at start-up will eject any removable media present such as optical discs. Also check this out! You know the c command? Well that will even start from a bootable thumb drive such as OS X

Emacs accessibility under OS X

2014-06-24 Thread Jason White
A few notes for those who haven't tried this yet: 1. The graphical (i.e., Cocoa) version of Emacs 24.3 is not accessible with VoiceOver. I can run emacs.app, but VoiceOver only identifies the name of the Emacs buffer. It can't access the text or the echo area of the editor window, for example.
