I have set my clock to chime on the hour as many times as the hour
indicates. Mine purrs because I like cats. The chimes come in strange
intervals. For instance at ten it does not chime ten times one after the
other like a clock does, no, sometimes it chimes three times, then waits,
then a few more chimes come, then maybe just one and so on until all ten are
chimed. It is like stuttering. Why these hesitations in between?
An addendum to screenshots: on my powerbook G4 where I still run OS9, when
I run visuals while doing the iTunes, they run lovely during the songs.
However, when I turn the music off, they seem to hesitate and sometimes even
stop. That is why I did not even bother my new iMac, because I haven't put
in tunes as yet. But then I got curious and tried them without music, and
they run like a charm.
The sreenshots I took here turned out fine, but they turned up on the
desktop, not on the hard disk. ??? Is that the default?
And do these visuals run in a pattern, do they have a beginning and an end,
or do they always run random? I have gotten myself in a trance watching ,
and it seems they are always different and within a half hour or so there
seemed to be no repetition. Any insights?
