I have both "Mac OS X the Complete Reference" and "Mac OS X Unleashed". "Mac OS X the Complete Reference" is good for beginners. I havent' gone through all "Mac OS X Unleashed" yet, but I think it's great. There's a lot about the unix shell, and a complete appendix about the command line (180...

- curiosity of what happens in another world - heard about OS X and surfing the internet brought him/her here - it's some kind of peep-show - good karma

Gosh! AdmiralAK, you're a living example of OS addiction, the kind that leads to schizophrenia! Do you have some time left for women? OOps, sorry to be so intrusive. Actually the poll confirms my hypothesis: a vast majority of Mac users (here) are really skilled and open minded, even if...

I didn't add a "Which is your primary OS" option, for this is precisely not what I'm seeking. Rather, I'm interested to see on which platform people in this forum have actual skills (whatever the degree of expertise). Up to now, the poll shows that 60% know something about other OSs than Mac...

For months now, we can see threads and posts about the PC vs Mac debate. I'd be curious to know how many here use Windows only, how many use Mac OS only, and how many use both (home or work), or another OS.

Did you notice: Adobe Illustrator 10 for OS X is out... at the same time as Windows XP. How long OS X users have been waiting before Adobe releases this product for them ? Months! And for XP users? Just a few days... Congratulations everyone, thanks to XP, Adobe will cover its $$$$$$$$ losses...

I complete here my opinion expressed a few threads below ("Bad java support, sad browsers on Mac") I've spent a long while trying most standard browsers for Mac, OS 9 (IE, Netscape, iCab) and OS X (IE, Netscape, Omniweb, Opera, iCab, Mozilla). I checked most available options relating to...

but Apple vs Microsoft. Say everyone around you that you're so happy with OS X, cuz it's in fact the *best OS ever done*, but also cuz it's also the only solid mass alternative to the Microsoft dominion.

I've spent a long while trying most standard browsers for Mac, OS 9 (IE, Netscape, iCab) and OS X (IE, Netscape, Omniweb, Opera, iCab, Mozilla). I checked most available options relating to Java and Javascript, on a few websites containing one or both languages. Two other persons did the same...

Hi, I'm looking for consistent advice about PPP connection through modem (I've gone through many forums, no answer so far...). I've got an ISDN Zyxel 2864I (500$, hell). The Zyxel modem script for OSX doesn't exist, and the Zyxel Comp. say they don't plan to make any. I can't connect through...

Hi, I've got a Zyxel 2864I ISDN modem. This company says they won't develop an OSX driver, so I'm stuck, unless: - someone's got the "Hayes compatible" modem script we had in the OSX PB. This script worked for me, although at a 56k rate. None of the actual OSX 10.0 modem scripts do work...

Hi, I've got OSX installed on beige G3 266, 96 Ram. OSX and Classic work almost perfectly. Except that Classic tends to refuse to quit. I've got OS9 on one partition, OSX + OS9 on the other. While in OSX, clicking e.g. on the Word98 app or on a Word98 file icon will start up Classic, but Word...

Thanks for the info - I disk-overed the app by chance a few days ago in the OSX CD-Rom. Hell, why don't they put it clearly into evidence in the installation manual??? Luca

Hi, Summary: I can't switch from OSX to OS9 or OS9 to OSX, in a partitioned disk, whatever the attributed partition (first or second) to the OS. Detail: I've installed OS X on a Beige G3 266, original ATA disk 4GB, with USB + video compression PCIs, 96Mb RAM. I've done two partitions...

Hi, I've installed OS X on a Beige G3 266, original ATA disk 4GB, with USB + video compression PCIs. I've done two partitions, one OS 9.0.4, the other OS X. In OS X manual, they say that the first partition must be OS9. Doing so, in OSX System Prefs, if I choose OS 9 as start-up disk...
