...yeah - but you're out in the cold, so it's time to light a fire.
Which I'm doing: I'm working with Thunderbird-specific growlnotify and
tweaking the code to work with SeaMonkey. I'm confident that I'll be
able to disable the pop-up XUL notifications in the SM prefs and leave
it up to the extension to talk with Growl. Test notifications already
work, so now it's 'only' a matter of figuring out exactly which flags to
monitor. Currently, turning off the XUL notifications turns off the
Growl notifications, too. Conversely, enabling SM's XUL notifications
supersedes the Growl notifications. LOL - I'll get there.
I'd use rules again - starting with each account sorting into
appropriate inboxes/filing systems. And again, using a different sound
for each account if not sender...that's not much different from using a
cell phone. You could even have the System read them to you, pretty
No doubt, you won't be surprised to hear that I despise using phones for
mail. I seldom use my iPhone to browse or send/receive mail. The
exception is server alarms: If something blows up, nagios spams my
iPhone with alarm notifications. I don't need tones for that;
half-a-dozen messages coming in at 3 a.m. need immediate attention.
I haven't upgraded to 10.8 and was suspicious of 10.7 because of full
screen apps until I got my Mini - at least with 10.7 you have an option
to go full screen or not, and from what I've seen of ML it's pretty much
the same...but I haven't really seen much of the bigger cat.
The problem with Lion and how full-screen mode blanks out secondary
displays is a real stopper for me. My MacBook is my primary screen and
the adjacent, 23" Acer extends the desktop. Going full-screen in Lion
blanks out the Acer and pushes the windowed app onto the primary screen.
Stupid. ML addresses the issue by enabling the user to determine which
screen gets the app and which one gets blanked. *SIGH* Mavericks looks
to be better -- allowing both full-screen apps on one or more monitors
and windowed apps on any others -- but it decouples the desktops, so
that Mission Control is 100% independent for each monitor. That will
entirely bork my work-flow. Bah.
I'm a dinosaur, I realize, but I really do consider Snow Leopard to be
the last truly great release of OS X. I am hoping that both Apple and
SeaMonkey support the release for a decent period to come. I'm not
looking forward to a forced upgrade.
Supported or not, my SnoLep machines will never be upgraded...and my
10.7 machine probably won't be either. The only way I'll ever get ML
will be to buy a new machine, and even then I'll likely partition and
install a reversion - back to 10.6.8 if I have to.
You'll need to run it in a VM. The new hardware is not
backward-compatible and I think you'll find that the EFI will not
support booting SL from Bootcamp. One of the annoyances of being in the
Apple camp.
Cheers,
