Aloha, For those who don't read Tidbits this weeks is very informative concerning OS X, a sample.
Mike PS Still on 9.2.2 ;-) Top Mac OS X Utilities: Restoring Mac OS 9 Functionality -------------------------------------------------------- by Adam C. Engst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Everyone knows that the group that's by far the most important to Apple is composed of small utility developers. Several years back, Apple saw that the Mac market was stagnating because almost every conceivable utility had already been developed. Realizing drastic resuscitation measures were necessary, Apple moved quickly to replace the Mac OS with the NeXTstep-based Mac OS X, hoping to give Mac developers the opportunity to restore Mac OS 9 functionality to Mac OS X and further extend Mac OS X's limited interface, to draw Unix hackers into the Mac camp, and to provide a market for all seven NeXT utility developers. Sarcasm aside, the number of utilities available for Mac OS X has indeed mushroomed of late. In preparing for this article, we turned to TidBITS Talk for recommendations, and the response was overwhelming - so much so that we've decided to publish a group of articles on the topic; this one will focus on utilities that restore Mac OS 9 functionality to Mac OS X. Read through the TidBITS Talk discussion for an unfiltered view of what's coming up. <http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tlkthrd=1497+1600> Snip "No individual or group -- and certainly no government -- can bestow a 'right.' If they can create and give us 'rights,' they can also take them away. The rights of man come from the hand of God, not the state." John F.
