Netscape? Who seriously uses that crap!? Netscape and Internet Explorer are the definition of slow. Safari and Camino for all their beta glory are mean, lean, surfing machines. Safari loads complex pages in a snap, so I don't know why you're bagging on it. Perhaps its your connection that's slow.
At least you admit you're a troll.
...the way Mac users have always done it!
option + e and then e will produce an é
option + u and then e will produce an ë
option + n and then n will produce an ñ
etc... etc... etc...
If you're a switcher there are a few websites floating around with the intent to help switches or those new to Mac OS X.
www.macfora.com
www.macmentor.com
www.macosx.com
However, searching the built in Mac OS X help engine would have found what you were looking for by searching for 'accented characters'. Really don't know why people forget about help... It's there for a reason!
But if you open the Key Caps utility and start pressing buttons (ie... try pushing shift, option, command and see what happens! also you can depress option and command at the same time!)
I just downloaded BBeditLite from VersionTracker. Perhaps their FTP servers haven't gotten word.
Though to be honest, I don't really see the point of BBeditLite. After having used the full version for so long, I can't do without its features and I'm only a casual user.
wasn't trying to belittle your contribution... just more of a suprise it took them so long to post seeing as 'exchange' is a thorn in many converter's back...;)
I submitted this info two days ago. All I gotta say is, "About freaking time!" Now all the whiners who said they'd switch to a Mac when Exchange rolled out can finally put their money where their mouth is.
Who wants to bet they'll come up w/ a new excuse not to SWITCH???
Game Developers are not Writers...

Ever see a position open at a gaming company for a writer? No, because they don't exist. Game Developers need to realize that writing both narrative and non-narrative storylines is a specialists position.
Hire writers and the games will become much more compelling.
Yo frankie... Take a chill pill and settle down!!!
Apple was forced to make their own browser. They've sat by the wayside and watched as not a single browser developer has brought a reliable product to market. If Opera hadn't treated Mac users as second class citizens, they would have a competitive on the market, but they don't. If M$ had brought a cocoa version of IE to market and quashed the bugs user after user complains of, there would be no safari... If OmniWeb and Chimera would come along more quickly there wouldn't be an issue...
But no... Not a single vendor has given us a fast and stable product. Safari will do one thing... It will raise the bar for which third party developers to compete. I have a feeling you haven't used Safari, but Apple has taken the minimalist approach... It does two things and two things well... It's fast and it's stable.
Omni web can and will build a competitive browser, most likely using the same rendering engine...
Chimera will have all the features Safari is missing...
IE will hopefully die away as they seem to have no interest in fixin IE.
The open source community will benefit from Apple's work here, I don't see what the issue is.
Opera can either put up or shut up, their product is inferior...
...they really had no choice in developing their own browser. Why? It doesn't take long to understand when you look at the current offering of web browsers for the Mac Market.
I don't know of a stable browser out there... From what I can tell, Apple intends Safari to be two things. FAST and STABLE. Safari will set the bar for which browsers on the Mac platform are judged.
Chimera & OmniWeb will be the greatest competitors to Safari, they will compete by offering features that Safari does not have (tabs, etc).
IE will hopefully die away.
Opera should just go home and quit. Their product has always been behind in its feature set. They treat Mac users like some sort of 3rd rate citizen. Not to mention that they want us to pay for it is simply rediculous.
Opera should do one of two things... Step up to bat and give Mac users a REAL product or they should stop whining and go home.
makes geforce4 cards that list MOSX as supported... I assume that many cards out there may possibly work, but since the drivers are supplied they aren't listed as being MOSX compatible.
I think the issue is that the drives aren't recognizing the CDs, but there's enough in the format to confuse the heck out of them... I would imagine that either an update to the OS or drive firmware will soon follow to fix the issue.

Cool, I'm a troll... Just goes to show you can criticize the Mac GUI for looking good, but the second your rag Windows you're modded down...
But why would MS want their OS to be pretty? It's ugly on the inside, it might as well be ugly on the outside...
...and still no UT2k3 announcement out of Epic/MacSoft.
WTF is taking so long guys? This game was supposed to be out by last DECEMBER.
...the last season was well, its last... but that show had balls. Big Cajones.
Maybe they're running BE OS ;)...
FYI - With Mac OS 10.3, X11 will be standard equipment...
Good points... I was thinking of it in the context of someone who has been using the full version and downgrading to the Lite version...

The Mac port? Rumor has it that there was such a thing, but for some reason it disappeared into the ether and was never seen again. ;)
:p
Anyhow, if the game ever comes out for the Mac I'll buy it, but for some reason I think I might die of old age first.

We had Mac OS X before we had Windows XP.

...that an update to either the OS or drive firmware is in order, though I'm amazed that the system hangs. Does this occur in both MOS9 and MOSX?
