    Mac OS 9 and OS 10 (again)

    Getting back in X is easy... When in OS9 open control panels, find 'Startup disk', run it and it should show you which 'systems' you can boot from. Just click on the one with Mac OSX in it and then : a) Hit the restart button (the one within Startup disk) OR b) Quit Startup disk and...

    What are the good Java IDE tools

    Try NetBeans (http://www.netbeans.org/ide/download.html) it's free and it runs on OSX / Win / Unix etc. Note: Last time I ran it on JDK1.4.1 it was a bit flakey, I ended up going back to JDK1.3.1 - Don't know what the current situation is?

    Missed the bit about "several times" 1st time around, just re-tried it and... Yippee! My clock is back, no more clicking the year forward from 197x to 2003. Thanx Arri My main battery is still dead but I think I'll wait until the 10.2.4/battery issue dies down before I buy a replacement.

    Why the scoll wheel resistance?

    How about Apple ditch the mouse completely? For innovation how about a pen tablet? I haven't tried inkwell yet but wouldn't it make sense to provide the appropriate hardware to make use of the software (1/2 joking - I don't expect Apple to give me a digital camera just because they gave me the...

    I switched back to 9 for now.

    I 'switched' just as OSX came out and compared to windows it was brill, but I've just bought my girlfriend a 2nd hand Powerbook with OS9 on it and in showing her how to use Freehand/Photoshop I've come to the conclusion that X doesn't stand up quite as well to 9. Maybe we just need a...
