I hope so. The next step will be for me to download the SM 2.17.1 source and eyeball the Growl support therein. All the flags that need monitoring will be defined there for all the SM components. Then it'll probably be a matter of extending the extension's preferences to match the behaviour we had in SM 2.17.1. If I can manage that, I'll be one /very/ happy camper.
*HATE* full screen apps - you should see Windoze 8 though, if you want to see a real horror-show as far as that goes...I predict that business users will *never* adopt it the way it is.
Yeah, I played with the Consumer Preview under Parallels Desktop. Not a fan, for sure. One of my clients bought a couple of W8 notebooks and I had to add them to the client's domain. The process was certainly different than that for W7. It probably didn't help that the first time I had to add a W8 box to a domain was with W8 Japanese and I'd never seen those screens before.
but soon...being in SoCal, I figure that once the new Mac Pro is out and picks up any steam I may look to pick up a used big-box Pro as an industrial cast-off. Then I'll set it up to run as many X-cats as I can get away with, plus Win7.
I wish you luck finding the current generation of Pros at reasonable pricing. I suspect they'll hold their value beyond the norm due to them being the last of the classically expandable/extensible boxes.
meow, IMO. At work we still use Windows XP and are *just* now talking about upgrading to Win7; I've heard SnoLep compared to XP in that regard
Agreed on both counts. W7 is a viable move with support from MS till 2020. SL is Apple's XP, for sure, but with its updates from Apple surely coming to an end once Mavericks is released, it won't enjoy the same longevity that XP has had.
- it does what users that want a *computer* want to do, and those people aren't "upgrading"...that 10.6.8 is Apple's "XP". I can see that comparison working out to become truth.
True. And if we're working with those analogies, surely Lion must be Apple's Vista. Unfortunately for me, Lion is the end of the road for this MacBook4,1 and its 32-bit EFI.
Actually, I think what I'll do is simply hold onto older hardware and freshen/speed it up with SSDs. My SnoLep driven iMac is close to six years old now and still a pretty fine machine - but I could slick it up with an SSD. Same goes for my Macbook Pro. I also have a G5 iMac
Do it; you won't be disappointed. Download Mactracker from the App Store so you get a clear view of the maximum RAM unofficially supported by your systems and max them out. Buy a quick SSD. My MacBook4,1 has 6GB RAM and a 600GB Intel 320 Series SSD. Even being an early-2008 system, it's much faster than a new Dell notebook with a mechanical HDD.
I put 4GB RAM and a 240GB OWC Mercury Electra 3G SSD into my old mid-2007 MacBook2,1 and gave it to my son. It flies, even running Lion. Check out OWC's offerings; they have SSDs that work with the old PPC Macs, too. Even the /really/ old stuff.
Anyway, it's back to analyzing this extension I go .... :) trane -- ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Trane Francks [email protected] Tokyo, Japan // Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
