Hoorah, a calculator update..

Maintenance

[xpccx]

I found this link to be very helpful for regular maintenance as well as a simple TODO list before each incremental OS upgrade. It covers:

• Repairing priviledges
• Repairing the disk
• Forcing periodic maintenance
• Updating the prebinding

Uninformed opinion is right

[SkiifGeek]

As per your sig, your opinion is uninformed.

Right / Control click on the calculator.app -> show package contents.

Under resources are a number of folders ending in .calcview. Drag them into the PlugIns folder and, voila, you now have a 2D Graphing calculator, a fully blown Hexadecimal calculator, and so on, available through the View menu in Calculator.

If it still doesn't rock your boat, there are plenty of valid third party calculator applications, such as GeekCalc, WCalc and a host of others.

Breaks a lot of Firewire drives

[anuj]

this tells of many users (myself included) whose firewire drives no longer mount. system profiler sees a device, but the drive doesn't show up in the disk utility. the drive mounts fine on an older machine, so it's not damaging to the data like the original panther release was. i guess the ball's in apple's court. ~A
