    OS 9 is alive and kicking!!!

    I fit in this category perfectly. I work for a graphic design company and we woudn't dare switch over to OSX yet because it is way way too slow compared to OS9. No matter what anybody says, the dirty little secret is OS9 is faster in every facet. I know because I use OS9 for about 9 hours...

    I hate PageMaker!!!!!

    Ragemaker is one of the worst things - wait, it IS the worst thing to ever happened to America. The horrifying fact that people actually pay over 10 dollars for that rotten program is almost too much for me to bear. In my design job people occasionally send me files in Ragemaker and I instantly...

    Trashcan in the Panther finder and desktop please.

    I just thought of an awesome idea that Apple totally overlooked; I really like having instant acces to my folders in the new Panther finder window mini-dock, but how bout putting a TRASH CAN in there? And how about allowing me to put a trash can on the DESKTOP. I can't believe they overlooked...

    Shutter: 2.5 seconds | Aperature: f4.2 Took this shot this evening at the Mentor Marshes. Cloudy and getting colder every day. This sky is an ominous reminder of winter about to hit. At least where I live.

    My Panther first Impressions and discoveries - Post here

    I can't believe it took them 3 frigging years to bring labels back. But I'm really glad they did. Panther. I like it.(for the record I've hated OSX until Panther because it was so unwieldy in a graphic design environment, and so much damn slower then OS9) I love exposé. Clutter in OSX...

    Speed comparison: 10.2 vs 10.3?

    I just upgraded without a clean install and Panther is faster then Jaguar. Mainly because they sped up all the annoying pointless slow rolldown effects. The Save As window opens up faster in all apps, the finder in general is faster and snappier(still not as snappy as OS9), and the instant...

    Panther's Fontbook is a turtle

    Way too slow. I'm sorry but this thing doesn't even compete with Adobe Type Manager. Don't get me wrong I really appreciate the effort but I need to open fontbook, turn a font on or off, then be back in quark in 5 seconds. I can do it in 4 seconds on a slow old 450MHz G4 with ATM installed but...

    intruder in my net?

    Yeah, arden, I found that page too. I did a search for that guy myself and I might be getting hacked by a world renowned jewish pianist. Anyway, no Zammy I can't log in to that machine. I wonder if that computer is at my ISP or something. I used the command line to check if anyone has logged...

    intruder in my net?

    I took a look at my network and there was a foreign computer there as you can see called Yehuda Cik's Computer. Cool, nice to meet ya Yehuda, my name is habilis. Or was there? I have had my firewall blazing since day one with only my AIM and Gnutella port open. I'm unable to login to Yehuda's...

    My Panther dogtags from the Apple store

    I agree embossed would have been even cooler. arden: I got those free with my Panther purchase but they were givin those out to people even if you didn't buy one. Pobably can only get them at an Apple store. I wonder how much I could get for these on ebay. heh.

    My Panther dogtags from the Apple store

    They just built a new apple store near me. I took one step in that place and I instantly felt overcome with lust for machines. I went in there hoping to get myself hyped up enough to buy a dual 2ghz G5 but I played around on one for about an hour using mainly Photoshop 7 and I found myself...

    That painfully cheesy panther video

    http://www.apple.com/macosx/video/ What a bunch of overblown hype. Who the hell is this in-your-face geeky coked up rastafarian-wannabe Omar anyway? The interviews with "random customers" are so obviously fake I felt embarassed. There's hardly any real red meat changes between Jag and Panther...

    Jason, you're gonna love photostitch. Definately one of the coolest things to happen to digital photography. It's like having an unlimited number of wide angle lenses. The rebel is an awesome cam, have fun.

    Right now I'm using a Canon G3. It's one of the best camera's in the non-slr range, the problem is they only make 3 lenses for it. A decent digital SLR with a lens will run you close to 3G's. An excellent one, like the 11 megapixel Canon EOS-1Ds runs upward of 8G's. My next camera is going to be...

    Living in London?

    The pros: free health care.(don't pay any attention to the 3-month waiting list for medical treatment.) The cons: socialistic high-tax environment that has the weather of Cleveland and Moscow, except if you go south(or any other polar direction for that matter) to escape it, they speak...

    Shutter: 1.5 seconds | Aperature: f3.0 This was a parking garage in a new Nordstrom. I took about 5 shots like this before the security gaurd came flying up and told me to stop taking pictures, and why was I taking pictures of the garage. I tried to explain that I was an artist and I saw a...

    That's one "Big Mac" that would probably be somewhat underappreciated in Ethiopia.
