I have been doing my screen shots with snapzpro & am still struggling a little to make it feel like a natural habit. I wanted to speak, however, to the advantages of capturing screens as pdf vs. the traditional (old school?) jpg or tiff. Many of the programs re-written for OsX now allow for...

Apple has addressed this, finally, and said that bluetooth and airport do not interfere with each other. Theoretically it looked like they might, but I have to say that my personal experience supports apple in its statement. I use bluetooth and airport in close proximity to each other on a...

The new LaCie D2's are great looking and small, but weigh a ton. Their innards are also not built to be truly portable. If you are looking for an "external" hard drive, then I would recommend them for their speed, stability, looks and lack of fan noise. If you are looking for a "portable" hard...

Happy overall here. Some of the payoff is still to come with address book syncing online and (hopefully) improved virex software. But I am happy to be able to access my .mac email from Mail.app from just about anywhere (esp. to send) and make good use of the shared iDisk folder, which saves me...

Having checked epson's site repeatedly concerning support for my perfection 2450 photo and not finding anything specific to support it, I figured I was out of luck. Last week I had a scanning job come in & decided to open up image capture before re-booting into 9 (for the first time since...

I still haven't been able to play with my copy of keynote much, but the reason I picked it up is that I see it as the Final Cut Express of the presentatioin software - somewhere between powerpoint and director. The overall strategy of the mid-range application is a nice signal that there is...

that's just great, so much for casual friday.

Interestingly - tabbing seems to take one through whichever form fields appear on the page & ultimately bring you to the google search box. Last stop before the search box is the address bar, so actually cmd-L then tab gets one into the google search box. Note that shift tabbing starts one at...

On the note of "learning" another browser - there has been pretty much no learning curve for me, coming from ie. two things i have had to get used to: - cmd-click opens new window as expected, but to get to orginal window, one uses cmd-tilde, whereas in ie one would use cmd-shift-tilde. so...

Ok, I know that the "docking station" line of conversation is slightly off topic, but I can't resist this. The guys who make BookEndz must be a little chagrined at the new 17" product. Their solution was an elegant, though expensive, one for past powerbooks, if one values a quick hook up to all...

why is that even pertinent?

Right, I knew I forgot something. Megahertz. I can get more done now, in a shorter period of time, than I could two years ago. My most recent windows experience was about 6 months ago on a machine that was a year old. My mac is better. No matter which os, but I prefer X. People who watch me...

ok, i am totally missing the keystroke combination to activate pop-up blocker. where do i find that one?

sorry for the extra post, but Safari actually opens up another window clicking on a link out of mail. I could not get ie to do that to save myself. since I forgot to mention it before, the integrated google in the toolbar is a wonderful feature. and I am happy about the favourites/bookmarks...

now that is exactly what "community" is all about.

It's limited to 640MB ram, so that may be the strongest clue. It's also the only powerbook with a side loading drive (albeit slot loading, not a drawer) Both of the new powerbooks seem to have benefited from the ibook hinge design. The graphics output is definitely different. Can't get a...

I didn't see the "it's going to open a new window" feature in the status bar, must keep my eyes open for that. Quite surprised that there is a pop-up blocker in a beta, especially given some of the other features that people are "missing". Interesting keyboard navigation. In ie when one opens a...

hiya Given that this uses quartz rendering and open gl gaphics, I am certain that Mr. Jobs was able to leverage work already being done on the OS and other applications (i.e. Preview) to act as a basis for the Keynote software. And this was because there wasn't an easy way to do it otherwise -...

Greetings to all. I read these forums when i can, and as extensively as I can. I post infrequently because usually I have been beaten to the punch on whatever topics I have the expertise or the deep-seated opinion to contribute to. I seem however, to be at the right place and the right time, so...

I have not had the same issues with airport interference, although I know that they are possible due to the sharing of the same radio spectrum for both bluetooth and 802.11b. Articles I have read suggest that airport shares well, but bluetooth has no regard for whether a frequency is already...
