=====================
Is Apple's beefy 17-inch PowerBook G4 too big? Michael Shappe
thinks not, and he's a happy convert from a PC laptop. Adam passes
on a number of tips for using Mac OS X more efficiently through
smarter scrolling, and Sander Lam remembers the late Dutch
translator Walter Van Lerberghe. In the news, we look at the
releases of Default Folder X 1.8, AirPort 3.1.1, and OmniWeb 4.5.

**Default Folder X 1.8 Released** -- Jon Gotow of St. Clair
Software last week released Default Folder X 1.8, the latest
version of his utility for enhancing standard Open and Save
dialogs in Mac OS X. Returning to the Mac OS X version of Default
Folder X now is an old feature that enabled you to Option-click an
item in a Save dialog to copy its name to avoid retyping. Other
improvements include system-wide keyboard shortcuts for opening
Favorite folders, the capability to set a single default folder
for all applications (handy for those people who save documents
randomly all over their hard disks), increased performance, and
minor user interface enhancements. The update is free for
registered users; new copies cost $35. Default Folder X 1.8
is a 3.1 MB download. [ACE]

**AirPort 3.1.1 Improves Performance and Compatibility** -- Apple
has released version 3.1.1 of the AirPort software, which includes
version 5.1.1 of the AirPort Extreme Base Station firmware.
Changes in AirPort 3.1.1 include performance enhancements between
wired and wireless clients, stronger handling of multicast traffic
on LANs, and better performance and behavior when using NAT and
DHCP in the AirPort Extreme Base Station. We've also seen an
anecdotal report in The Wireless Networking Starter Kit forum
about the firmware update enabling a D-Link DWL G520 PCI card
in a PC connect to an AirPort Extreme Base Station, which hadn't
previously worked. AirPort 3.1.1 is a 7.8 MB download, available
via Software Update or directly from Apple. [ACE]

**OmniWeb 4.5 Released** -- The Omni Group has released OmniWeb
4.5 , a major update of its Web browser for Mac OS X. The Omni
Group developers have tossed out the program's previous home-grown
rendering engine in favor of Apple's WebCore and JavaScriptCore
frameworks (which are in turn based on the open-source KDE
project), the same technology underlying Safari. The result
is faster and more consistent page loading and better support
for Web standards, while enabling the OmniWeb developers to
concentrate on unique features such as voice-controlled
navigation, history searching, and extensive security and
filtering options (for example, not displaying images that
come from servers known for pushing ads). OmniWeb 4.5 is a
4.3 MB download . A license to use the full version costs $30,
but the update is free for those who have licensed OmniWeb 4.x
versions. [JLC]

Mac OS X Scrolling Tips
-----------------------
by Adam C. Engst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Do we take anything more for granted than scrolling in a window
that's too small to show its entire contents? Well, breathing
probably outranks scrolling, but most of us don't spend much time
thinking about how we scroll. Read these tips to learn how to go
beyond the basics of the scroll bar and obvious navigation keys
like the arrows, Home and End, and Page Up and Page Down. And all
this comes without spending a dime on a scroll wheel-enabled
mouse, helpful though such a critter might be.
**Double Arrow Scroll Bars** -- Apple's default settings for
scroll bars have never made sense. The settings are happy to let
you put single arrows on either end of the scroll bar (an up arrow
at the top and a down arrow at the bottom), or to place double
arrows on one end of the scroll bar (both up and down arrows
at the bottom of the scroll bar). But Apple doesn't reveal the
obvious third choice of double arrows at both ends of the scroll
bar, even though the necessary code has long been built into the
classic Mac OS and Mac OS X.
In Mac OS 8.5 through Mac OS 9 (and for Classic applications in
Mac OS X), Tom Schmidt's freeware Scroll Bars (5.6K download) lets
you enable double arrows at each end of scroll bars. In Mac OS X,
you can use Marcel Bresink's free TinkerTool 2 (480K download) to
enable double arrows at each end of scroll bars (along with many
other cool features).
<http://homepage.mac.com/TomDar2/software.html>
<http://www.bresink.de/osx/TinkerTool2.html>
If you're not bothered by the command line, a quick Unix command
will give you double scroll arrows even faster than downloading
and using TinkerTool. Just run the Terminal and paste
the following line in at the prompt (I assume you need an
administrator-level account to do this). Then log out and log
back in or restart your Mac to start using the double arrows.
defaults write "Apple Global Domain" AppleScrollBarVariant DoubleBoth
If you decide you don't like the double scroll arrows, you can
switch back to one of Apple's defaults using the Appearance
control panel's Options tab in Mac OS 9 (most easily accessible
from the Apple menu when you're in a Classic application in Mac
OS X) or via Mac OS X's General preferences pane.
**Jump Scrolling** -- In particularly long documents, scrolling
can become tedious, which may account for why Apple added a new
option for what happens when you click in an empty part of the
scroll bar. Traditionally, the document scrolls to the next page,
which is easily understandable and gives you a large target when
choosing where in the scroll bar to click. In Mac OS X's General
preferences pane you can now also choose a mode in which clicking
in the scroll bar scrolls the document not a page, but to the
location in the document that corresponds with your click. So,
if you're at the top of your document and you click halfway down,
your document scrolls to roughly the halfway point. Click again
at the bottom of the scroll bar and you scroll all the way down
instantly. This mode works for Cocoa and Carbon applications,
but not for Classic applications.
Honestly, I have this option turned on for one of my Macs, and
it drives me batty, since I must constantly evaluate how long my
document is and try to imagine what location in the scroll bar
corresponds with the desired spot in the window. Luckily, there's
a way to use this feature just when it can be most helpful.
Stick with the normal scroll-by-page approach, but when you want
to perform a hyperspace jumps to a specific location in a long
document, Option-click in the scroll bar for a one-time jump
to that location. I find this technique particularly useful in
iPhoto, since scrolling around thousands of photos takes forever.
I use Option-click to jump near the location I want, and then
click normally to scroll the remaining short distance.
**Application Drag and Space Scrolling** -- Look for alternate
ways of scrolling in some applications by clicking and dragging,
or by pressing the spacebar. These methods are common, but not
universally supported. For instance, hold down Command-Option when
using a Finder window in icon view, and you can then click inside
the window and drag to scroll its contents.
In Adobe Acrobat (at least version 5.0), you can drag to scroll
when using the hand tool, as long as either you're zoomed in to
see less than a page at a time or your Display preferences are
set to use one of the Continuous page layout options. You can also
change this on a per-document basis from the View menu, if you
prefer Single Page layout normally, but occasionally want to
scroll by dragging. The same is true for Apple's Preview - choose
Continuous Scrolling in the View menu to enable drag scrolling.
<http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/>
Don't like downloading a PDF just to see if it's something you
might want to read more carefully? Try Manfred Schubert's PDF
Browser Plugin, which provides PDF viewing in Safari and some
other Web browsers. Why do I mention it in this context? Because
it provides drag-scrolling of PDF files by default inside your
Web browser's window. It also lets you save PDF files or open
then in another PDF viewer like Acrobat Reader.
<http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/>
Lastly, don't forget the unassuming spacebar. Since the dawn of
time (or at least the dawn of the keyboard), Internet applications
that were primarily about reading text, such as email clients,
Usenet newsreaders, and, later, Web browsers, have used the
spacebar as a shortcut for scrolling down in long pieces of text.
It works in Eudora, Mail (in the preview pane), Entourage, Safari,
Internet Explorer, Camino, Preview, and many more. Less common is
support for scrolling back up in documents; in Entourage, Mail,
and Safari you can use Shift-spacebar; in Internet Explorer it's
Option-spacebar. I can't guarantee that the specific applications
you use for reading Internet content will support spacebar
scrolling, but it's likely, and certainly worth investigating.
**Scrolling, Scrolling, Scrolling** -- I'm not saying that you
should put a lot of thought into how you scroll around in
Mac OS X, just that with small amount of one-time effort, you
can learn a few new tricks that make it even easier to use your
Mac when you can't see the entire contents of a window at once.

My Kingdom for a Mac! In Memoriam Walter Van Lerberghe
------------------------------------------------------
by Sander Lam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
How well can one get to know another person by email? I met Walter
Van Lerberghe only a few times in person, but we exchanged
numerous email messages, mostly relating to our shared volunteer
efforts in translating TidBITS into Dutch each week. As such
correspondences go, we also diverted on occasion to personal
affairs.
On 11-Jul-03, Walter died, causing me to bring up about a megabyte
of memories from my hard disk and archived CDs. Despite the sad
cause, it was a pleasant job, because Walter's messages always
radiated something sunny. He often hinted at the good life,
for example by reminding us that the Belgians are the best beer
brewers in the world, and he maintained a good balance between
earnestness and humor.
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=07278>
Walter loved to occupy himself with language. He considered it
as a pastime to keep active his little gray cells, a phrase made
popular by another Belgian, Agatha Christie's fictional detective
Hercule Poirot. Walter's career involved writing brochures for
hi-fi equipment, which meant inventing his own words for many
technical terms. And Walter didn't stop at Dutch, French, and
English - for their holidays, he and his wife favored Tenerife.
Since it's in the Canary Islands, which belong to Spain, Walter
took a course in Spanish.
In 1991, poor health forced him to give up his job, so he spent
the extra spare time on his other big hobby: the Macintosh. He
became a devoted TidBITS reader, and in 1996 when there was a call
for volunteers to translate the newsletter into French, he took
the opportunity to combine his two hobbies and to give something
back for the consistently high quality of the articles in TidBITS.
It took a bit longer before a Dutch translation of TidBITS came
to be, but eventually Jan Vanderwegen and Walter recruited enough
other volunteers. In the early days, Walter took much of the work
upon himself and encouraged the rest of us to persevere as the
team worked out a process. Once we had enough people and a
reliable production cycle had crystallized, Walter became our
permanent final editor. For a few years he worked on both the
French and the Dutch translations, but eventually he had to
give up working on the French team.
Walter made demands on himself and on the rest of the team, but
he also knew when to ease up. He found absurd the practice of
inventing at any price Dutch words for English computer jargon,
and he often let us know that he was proud of the quality of
TidBITS in Dutch. He preferred to speak about a Dutch "version"
rather than a translation. That's why our capitalization of
article titles and subheads differs from the American convention,
we have a different punctuation, et cetera.
Walter also did much to make TidBITS better known. Along with
telling everyone he knew about TidBITS, he was happy to be
interviewed by the Dutch MacFan magazine ("MacFan and TidBITS:
that is all you need as a Mac user"). When it became possible to
order t-shirts with the TidBITS logo, Walter's main concern was
whether he would receive the shipment in time to wear the t-shirt
at his next stay on Tenerife. (He ordered two shirts; whether
his wife also lay on the beach wearing the TidBITS logo he never
said.)
Walter also cared about making personal connections within the
team. On our mailing list, which is meant to discuss translation
problems, we once had a spate of funny poems run back and forth,
not only generating some smiles among all the serious "work," but
also emphasizing our shared love of language. Likewise, our shared
interest in the Macintosh was a binding factor. Gradually we
became curious about each other, and Walter convinced us that we
should someday have dinner together to get to know each other
better. Although we never succeeded in getting the whole group
together at one time, the tradition of smaller sets of translators
meeting from time to time has given us all stronger ties to one
another and to TidBITS Dutch.
The title of this article, "My Kingdom for a Mac!", is a
paraphrasing of a famous line from Shakespeare's Richard III, and
comes from one of Walter's early email signatures. As much as five
words can, the phrase sums him up in our minds: a song of praise
about the Mac, a bit of word play. Walter couldn't take his Mac
with him, but he did leave a kingdom of memories to us.
Apple's 17-inch PowerBook G4
----------------------------
by Michael Scott Shappe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The first thing most people seem compelled to say after their
first glance at the 17-inch PowerBook G4 is also the most obvious:
"Wow, that thing's big!"
<http://www.apple.com/powerbook/index17.html>
It could hardly be otherwise. At a time when most electronics keep
getting smaller, Apple pulled another of their seemingly counter-
intuitive moves and came up with a laptop that's bigger. But the
PowerBook is also thin, sleek, shiny, and surprisingly light for
its size and construction. In short, it's a striking machine for
more reasons than just its size.
Of course, striking good looks are not the primary reason most
people buy a laptop - if it were, most current laptops would never
move off the shelves! People buy a laptop because they want a
useful computer that they can take with them. Believe it or not,
the 17-inch PowerBook G4 succeeds at this purpose quite admirably.
As big as it seems when you look at it on a table, I don't find
that it feels unwieldy on my lap. At 6.8 pounds (3.1 kg), it's
heavier than many modern laptops, but lighter than most that
I've used. My old Fujitsu Lifebook 420D, for example, weighs 7.3
pounds. Toshiba just announced a 17-inch laptop, the P25 Series,
weighing in at a staggering 10 pounds. By those comparisons, 6.8
pounds seems just fine, and it's barely more than half the weight
of my cat, who's in my lap much of the time I'm not using the
PowerBook.
<http://www.fujitsupc.com/www/products_overview.shtml>
<http://portables.toshiba.com/>
**Keyboard** -- The keyboard appears to be identical to the full-
size one found on the 12-inch PowerBook, and it is jammed all the
way back toward the screen, which leaves a large palm-and-wrist
space in front. Some people have complained that the space is too
large; personally, I appreciate the extra space. Another laptop I
use regularly (a Toshiba Tecra) not only doesn't have enough room
in front, but it has a sharp edge that cuts into my wrists. The
PowerBook is far more comfortable for extended use.
The keyboard features decent key-travel and a solid feel. The
keys are plastic, despite looking like aluminum, but feel only
marginally less solid than the rest of the case.
Surprisingly, the only serious problem I've had with the machine
involves the keyboard. After a month and a half of use, the T key
wobbled like a loose tooth and came off. I suspect that the
problem may be a design flaw as a result of having thin keys but
good key-travel. If your fingers are close enough to the edge of
a key, your fingernail can catch a bit under the key's neighbors.
Now I type a bit more carefully.
Unlike previous Apple portables, the keycaps on this keyboard
are not designed for field replacement, so losing the T key was
definitely a bad thing. Calling Apple resulted in some puzzlement
from the support representative on the other end, but in the end,
she received permission to treat it as a warranty repair (not the
norm for PowerBook keyboards, apparently!) and arranged for a
shipment box to be sent to me. Fortunately, the machine was back
in my hands exactly when Apple promised it would be, four business
days later.
One feature that's received some oohs and ahhs, but not much
serious talk, is the keyboard's backlight. In a darkened room,
light sensors concealed in the speaker grills activate rows of
fiber optic cables beneath the keyboard. The letters on the
keycaps are laser-etched, rather than printed onto the keys,
so the light shines through and illuminates just the letters.
At the same time, the light sensors automatically lower the screen
brightness to balance out the total light level. You can adjust
the brightness of the screen and the keyboard using function keys.
If the Automatic setting is enabled in the Displays preferences
pane, using the function keys sets the ceiling for the automatic
system, rather than overriding it entirely.
As I type this now, I'm in a mostly darkened room, with the
keyboard brightness cranked up, and the markings on all the
full-sized keys are bright and clear. The half-sized keys
(function keys and cursor keys), however, are less so.
**Bring On the Heat** -- The machine does get rather warm in one's
lap and under one's hands after a while. Whether or not you find
the heat uncomfortable will be a matter of personal taste. When
you first pick it up and put it in your lap after it has been idle
for a while, it's pleasantly cool - as you'd expect a metal case
to be. After an hour or so, however, it definitely heats up.
Personally, when the laptop becomes too warm for comfort, I take
that as a sign I should put it to sleep, get up, and stretch
for a while.
If you will be using it on a tabletop instead of in your lap most
of the time, the heat won't be much of an issue. Since Apple is
positioning this machine in part as a replacement for a desktop
Mac, this may explain why more work wasn't done to keep it cooler.
Certainly, in terms of hardware features, the 17-inch PowerBook
G4 goes a long way toward being an ideal replacement for a desktop
Mac. Along the left side, from back to front, are the power
connector, modem phone jack, USB 1.1 port, PC Card slot,
microphone jack, and headphone jack; on the right side, back to
front, are the DVI video connector, the S-Video connector, the
Gigabit Ethernet port, FireWire 800 and FireWire 400 ports, and
the second USB 1.1 port. Apple supplies cables to adapt DVI to
VGA, and S-Video to RCA, providing connections to analog monitors
and televisions. With this range, just about every kind of modern
peripheral you can think of is available to you. The one common
complaint I've heard is the lack of a high-speed USB 2.0 port.
The 17-inch PowerBook G4 also sports two wireless networking
options as standard equipment - Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme
(802.11g). I don't own an AirPort Extreme Base Station, but
802.11g is compatible with 802.11b base stations (such as the
original AirPort), which is how I access the network most of the
time. I encountered some early wireless networking glitches, but
the cause turned out to be some non-standard options on my SMC
802.11b wireless gateway. With those turned off, everything works
smoothly.
<http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?sec=Products&pg=Product-Details&prod=76&site=c>
**Laptop Theater** -- Of course, the whole point of owning such
a large laptop is to have more screen real estate, and the
PowerBook's 17-inch display is seriously beautiful. It's
bright, crisp, and clear, and in my opinion responsive enough
for playing graphics-intensive video games (a key test for redraw
performance). I can view the display from a wide range of angles
without distortion.
In bright sunlight, the display is definitely usable. The screen's
contrast is adequate for writing code, casual Web surfing, and
reading and composing email; however, I wouldn't want to do
serious photo editing or anything else where I needed to see
color accurately. By comparison, the aforementioned Toshiba
Tecra's screen is almost impossible to use in sunlight. I'm
personally still not sure I agree with Apple's decision to go
with the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, since I would have liked
the extra height as well as width (for example, a resolution of
1440 by 1280 instead of 1440 by 900).
The slot-loading SuperDrive can read all manner of CD, CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD, and DVD-R discs; it can also write to CD-R, CD-RW,
and DVD-R discs. So far, like any good Apple product, I've found
that this feature just works. (When first announced, an error on
Apple's Web site stated that the SuperDrive performed at 2x speed,
when in fact it's a 1x model. This is slow when compared with the
4x SuperDrive found in Power Macs, but you sacrifice speed for
portability.) Playback of DVDs is smooth unless the machine is
busy with other processor-intensive work.
The large speakers on either side of the keyboard are quite
adequate for playing music (with iTunes, for example) or listening
to the soundtrack of a DVD as it plays. True audiophiles, of
course, will want to pipe the output somewhere else via the
line-out/headphone jack, but for casual use I don't have any
real complaints.
So, how does it perform? Well, I'd say it depends on what you
expect. If you're a PC user accustomed to 3 GHz machines with
highest-end video cards, you may feel a bit let down. But for
anyone else, and for my purposes - Web development, graphic
design, surfing - I've found it to be more than acceptable,
especially with 1 GB of RAM. [Editor's note: Apple loaned me
a 17-inch PowerBook G4 for a week, during which time I found
Mac OS X to be snappier than on my Titanium PowerBook G4 running
at 400 MHz. Processor-intensive applications such as Adobe
Photoshop, InDesign, Final Cut Express, and iMovie were noticeably
faster as well. In fact, despite the beautiful screen and
fantastic industrial design - the spring-loaded hinges
deserve a special award in their own right - it was the
17-inch PowerBook's faster overall performance that impressed
me the most. -Jeff Carlson]
**Powering the Powerful** -- Finding a place to plug in a power
adapter is becoming easier these days, but it can still be a
concern, especially when traveling with a laptop. You might think
that, given the PowerBook's relatively high processor clock speed
and large screen, the length of time you can free yourself from
the AC umbilical cord would be rather short. I'm pleased to say
that it isn't necessarily so.
As with any battery powered device, battery life depends on what
you're doing with it. With AirPort and Bluetooth off, the keyboard
backlight off, and the screen's backlight dimmed to its lowest
visible setting, I can write or program on the machine for a good
three and a half hours before it warns me that it's hungry. The
screen is quite readable at that brightness level, although
obviously, just how readable depends on the ambient light around
you. Cranking up iTunes to play music stored on the hard disk
(this keeps the disk spinning) reduces my battery life, but not
tremendously. Even with AirPort on, I can get better than two
hours out of the battery before it starts whining. I haven't done
any serious CD or DVD playback on battery power, so I'm uncertain
how much those impact battery life.
Yes, laptops with longer battery life are available, but none that
I'm aware of that approach the overall power and utility of this
PowerBook. I find that a flat two hours is the best I can get out
of my Toshiba Tecra under similar conditions.
For when you do plug in, Apple's AC adapter is handily designed.
It's a square white brick, with a somewhat thin cable running to
the computer. Flip-up brackets at two corners allow you to wrap
the cable to keep it from dangling (also useful when stowing the
adapter in a case). A third corner features a removable plug
module. If the module is in, you can just plug the flip-up prongs
into any outlet. But the PowerBook also comes with a sturdy
extension cord that replaces the plug module. This modular design
is very clever. It's unclear to me, however, if it's possible
to plug in modules for other countries' electrical systems, or
if you need a completely different brick.
**Add It Up** -- My only complaint, aside from the difficulty I
had with the keyboard, is the PowerBook's price. At $3,200, it's
one of the most expensive consumer machines available, desktop
or laptop. Toshiba's 17-inch rival is more than $1,000 cheaper
(albeit 3.2 pounds heavier). I was willing and able to pay the
Apple premium, but continuing to price even high-end machines so
much above Windows- and Linux-based Intel rivals will not help
Apple's case.
This machine represents a return for me to both the Macintosh and
NeXTstep folds, since I was a devotee of both environments in the
1980s and early 1990s. Now, I'm thoroughly addicted to this not-
so-little laptop. I think the price is steeper than it should be,
but I'm not feeling cheated. I expect to get several years of fun
and productivity out of the machine, both at home and on the road.
[Michael Scott Shappe is a software engineer, Web designer, copy
editor, and sometime reviewer. He recently returned to the
Macintosh platform after several years' sojourn on Windows and
Linux. He still thinks Linux is kinda keen, but he's very glad
to be putting distance between himself and Windows.]
