It takes an 8" stroke to move across a 22" screen whereas all our Win2K's are set to do it in under an inch. Am I missing a further control to speed things up please.......I find all this hand movement an unnecessary waste of effort and really slows down navigating > around.
21 inch monitor OS 9.2 1920 x 1200 = 51/2 inch
1280 x 1024 = 4 inch
OS X 1280 x 1240 = 3 inch
Are you running some phenomenal resoulution? Discussions about Win2K's and wrist actions will probably get a slap from the list mummy.
Second question...found out how to set a plain grey desktop scheme but would like it a much darker grey than the defaults but cannot see how to change it.In PS make a pretty grey background to your liking 1cmx1cm @72 dpi tiff.
Save it to where you put these things
Apple>control panels>appearance
Click Desktop
Click place picture
go find where you put your grey picture
Click open
scroll to fill screen
set desk top
close
done
BTW I have been aware for a long time that mounting is an important act in Mac operations, but can someone please let me into the secret of mounting. How do you do it, when and where? Oh yes this box is running 9.1Sorry I don't understand what you don't understand.
If you stick a drive into a mac, it in general automatically mounts it onto the desktop; ie you get an icon and the thing works. When you have finished with it, you drag the icon to the trash (unmounting it I suppose) and it tells you it is safe to remove it. If you simply remove the drive the mac sometimes sulks until you restart it.
