The big difference being that the Apple Extended Keyboard II has an adjustable height... yes position between minimum and maximum, not todays cruddy up or down:)
I have about 10 of these lovely keyboards... pitty no OSX machine of a respectable speed has ADB ports:(
Free Software and Open Source may be two recent terms which were capitalized, but before Stallman and Raymond were running around shouting about their version of various software idealisms there was software with source code available, and this software... was called... OPEN SOURCE.
Get it?
The source is open. you can see it...
some software was also called free software... you see... it was free... yes, it meant that it cost nothing.
The relatively recent redefinitions of Free Software and Open Source are by their respective camps are simply an act of revisionist history making.
MS hired the Mach MicroKernel developers to create WinNT way back in the day
What's even funnier is that As I Remember It, Avi Tevanian (sp?) was the primary Mach microkernel developer, and he works for Apple... and in fact, is their chief software guru...
Unless you have a concrete reason to use UFS... and no, wanting to have to get the case right, or wanting "better performance" is not a reason.
HFS+ is the native file system of Mac OS X... UFS is just a compatibility layer.
Just like Classic is a compatibility layer...
You don't want to use Classic do you?
Well, then you don't want to use UFS.
UFS does not get tested as heavily as HFS+ (hell why do you think AirPort doesn't work... because it makes case insensitive assumptions)
Commercial software is NOT tested on UFS.
UFS is ONLY there to allow the porting of large unix software which makes case sensitive assumption... such as having two files with the same name in the same directory, but different cases.
Running such software is the only valid reason to install UFS, and normally you'd just fix the problem anywho, doing this (the same files in the one directory) is bad practise anywho.
So, the moral of the story is, don't use UFS on Mac OS X. (unless you have a DAMN good reason)
(developing cross-platform UNIX software is actually a fairly good reason to have one UFS partition about)
Using the print preview method is the equivalent of using the old PDFWriter (ie printer-driver pdf creator)
ie the quality is realtively crappy.
Distiller takes a.ps file and turns it into a GREAT pdf.
Basically, it means normal users can now use PDF. But serious users still want Acrobat Pro, because of the awesome quality, the small files, and the other features, hotlinks, table of contents, etc

I believe 8 was the disk drive device number...
;)
,1 was, perhaps, "and run" ;)
hence PRESS PLAY ON TAPE is a tad weird
can't remmeber what the last
The Apple Extended II keyboard features a locking caps-lock :)
:)
The really cool thing was to set your run key to be the capslock key... then you could push it.... and you'd stay in turbo until you pushed it again
Great.
Who needs a friggin light in the key, or in the far corner when the key just locks down.

Funny...
As far as I see it, you got it quite wrong
The simple answer is...
Use HFS+.
Unless you have a concrete reason to use UFS... and no, wanting to have to get the case right, or wanting "better performance" is not a reason.

No, he's right
Apple has even had to say publically that the QT API is not supposed to be a porting layer.
BUT you can take a macos program, and simply link to qtml.dll on windows, and it almost all works.
Almost all of the important parts of MacOS are contained in the qtml.dll
Yes... QuickTime for Windows is actually MacOS for Windows.
Believe It.
control-eject will bring up the shutdown dialog, just hit return ;)
of course, this take care of powering up...
But who turns off their OSX machines anyway?
Sounds like you have a Ghetto-PC
:)
My solution is fairly cool...
;)
/users/name )
:)
;)
I have my main files in my home folder on my laptop...
So I have my portable environment...
When I want to use another machine I boot the laptop in target disk mode and connect it to the machine via firewire...
All the machines I use are set so my home directory on them, is actually on my laptop
ie (/vol/fwdrive/users/name instead of the more normal
So I carry my data around... but use whatever machine I want...
You could do the same with an iPod.
Problem of course is that it probably only works with Mac OS X... oh well
Its really very cool tho
My problem is always the heat :(
;)
Currently I have about 7 G3s and G4s in this room, and a gaggle of 6100s next door... and it gets HOT.
If you keep the music up, you can't hear the machine noise
cmd-h
(where cmd == command == apple )
Lastly, Firewire is due for a speed bump very soon.
...
:)
;)
You must live in some strange place. Where I come from, speed bumps are those round things that jar your spine when you aren't looking
He lives in MacLand
Yes, it is a strange place
I first heard about FireWire in 1991...
I remember what year I was in at school...
Think this was probably from a MacWorld or MacWeek type magazine...
Twas cool tho...
His Steveness Steve declared the i to stand for Internet when he unveiled the original iMac
just as the e in eMac was declared to stand for education
Another thing, just holding option (ie only option) will hide the current app as you switch. Helps keep window clutter to a minimum
Also, you can switch by clicking the windows (but you knew this)
Also, holding down on a dock icon (or control clicking) will show a menu of all open windows
The kid's not doing it right if he's using headphones ;)
Also, what type of music, or what type of parent's actually give a hoot what their kids are listening too?
satanic verses?
I just can't really imagine any music worth worrying about... maybe my fragile mind is just too pure...
">console"
Cisco use G4s in their routers now I believe...
G4s are great at shoveling massive amounts of data around...
OmniWeb does crash... but you do have to push it fairly hard...
Wouldn't the mommy and daddy be able to tell what music junior was playing because they could hear it?
My OSX box is great and I don't like Linux ;)
