hi there, i've installed maxima using fink and i'm running it on top of Apple's X11 (tried on XDarwin too, but doesn't seem any different on either). anyway, when i plot a graphic, i can't select the options from the menu: Dismiss, Zoom, etc. when i click any of them, the menu just closes...

hi there, when i first installed os x, i chose to do it in portuguese. short after, i decided i wanted it in english, so i changed whatever i found with language to english. however, the login manager is still in portuguese. where can i change this (if i can...)? thanks and regards.

hi there... again... :rolleyes: i downloaded shapeshifter, so i could theme my os x, but it's a demo, so i'd like to know if there is a free alternative to this. i couldn't find any... regards.

hi, i've just installed VLC and i'd like to associate all the supported video files to this player, i.e. when i click on a video file on finder, i'd like it to be opened with VLC. how do i do this? regards.

i finally decided to buy an ibook... i was wondering... i've seen that the maximum display is 1024x768... isn't that too small, even for a 14'' screen? i mean, i usually work with resolutions like 1280x1024 or possibly superior...

hey, that's a nice idea! i didn't even remeber that. it probably works for me as well! thanks for the sugestion! :D

thanks, that was most helpful. from what i've read about virtual pc, i guess it would be a solution to consider, since i can edit the assembly code directly in mac osx and then move the source code to windows running under virtual pc (it seems to be possible)... i'll mainly just be running some...

hi there people, i'm one of those guys who runs FreeBSD (and windows sometimes, when needed) and have no idea how a mac works... i've never used a mac enough time to know the system well, so i'm completely blind here... so to the point... i am an engineering student (computer science) and...
