  1. Awesome! The text file thing is annoying as all hell, I hope that's not the way Photoshop has to do it as well... Thanks Ludge!
  2. Well, it's been a little over a month since I started playing around in the mac world on my iBook. The one thing that gets me is that I have several programs that I prefer to the standards, and would rather have them set as the defaults for thier doctypes... Shiira instead of Safari Thunderbird instead of Mail.app xPad instead of anything else for text files I've gotten VLC to set itself as default for video, but I can't find the options anywhere in these other programs, and I'd assume it will be the same when Photoshop arives. I'm not affraid of the command line, actually that's one reason why I switched, so if the solution lies in there, no problem. Please help, I'm sick of Safari and mail and texteditor popping up for no reason only to be closed or accidentally ignored! Thankyou, ian
  3. Here's something that's bugged me since I got mine... how do I hide the program icons from the dock that I want to have running in the back ground? Like Fire, or Launch Bar or Drop Drawers... That would be ridiculously useful!
  4. anyone know of a good freeware tabbed text editor? BBEdit seems a little expensive for my purposes!
  5. I have a 1.1 but I wouldn't think that would freeze it, although I know yer not supposed to do that... I restarted the computer and it started up where it left off apparently no harm done, I won't need my laptop for at least a year and a half so, the comp issue isn't that big of a deal to me, thanks tho!
  6. so, my computer is completely frozen in the middle of uploading, can't find any info on what to do, this is the first day I've had my iPod mini, and I don't want to completely screw it up, plus I leave for Iraq tommorow... any help?
  7. the guard is the first to go last to know, even though that's a Marine slogan thanks for all the kind thoughts folks!
  8. I'm almost hoping that you mean thirty centegrade... and then I did the conversion, and am hoping the other way around... Michigan, think Germany without mountains, Vermont think Switzerland... you can always dress for cold... but centegrade does sound right, damn! edit--- I'll be there for at least a year, so I'll get the ridonkulousness too... 2nd edit--- has anyone noticed the google ad's for this thread? kinda humorous...
  9. since this board is so massive in it's member base maybe someone has gone already, I mean I know people that have been and they have all kinds of crazy tips and tricks for living in the dessert, just wondering if anyone had anything new to me. Also, there are many people I think that live in the region on this board that may know what pale pasty Irish boys lack in order to survive out there... thats basically what I meant.
  10. (As I mean no offense to anyone on this at all, that's an affectionate term, or so I'm told...) I work at a restaurant waiting tables... but, for two years now I've also been a member of the Vermont Army National Guard. I was sitting at work eating some steak tips with my best friend(who also works there) when one of my bosses comes up to our table with the phone and says, "It's your mommy. I think you're in trouble." I take the phone and my mother informs me that at Leiutenant such and such had just called the house and really wanted to get ahold of me. Which is funny, as I'm in the process of an interstate transfer back to MI since I no longer go to college in VT. She said that he wanted to call me at work but she said that she didn't know if I'd be there, so she'd try to get ahold of me and that I'd call him back ASAP. Another funny thing is that this was at like, 1730, and it's the same time zone, but NG offices close at 1600. I informed her that he probably wouldn't be there it was after hours, I'd call tommorow. She retaliated in saying, he called right before I called you, he said he'd be there, it sounds important. She gives me the number. I call. "Yes, Specialist Keeler (I'm a private as far as I know.),this is LT. Proccopio (A person I haven't seen in at least months as he was at Ranger School last I knew.) I'm going to say this fairly quickly, please refrain from asking questions until I am finished speaking. (I figure I'm getting discharged, my heart sinks...) (Todd asks if I'll need paper, I shrug my shoulders.)" "Roger sir" "This is an Involuntary Mobilization Order. (I needed paper NOW!)You will be part of Operation Iraqi Freedom... You will be in some place blah blah blah, you have to be in vermont for shots and physicals and stuff on 25 Oct 2004. You will ship to Ft. Dix and out again to Iraq on 15 November 2004. Blah blah blah, any questions?" That was extremely paraphrased as I pretty much went into shock after the word mobilization. I look up at Todd and say, "I'm going to Iraq." He looses his ****. I walk up to the office from the dining room in a haze, I inform my managers as I hand the phone back to them, "I'm going to Iraq." My main manager who was bending over to grab something from a file cabinet looked up at me over her glasses and stayed in the same position for at least five minutes... So... yeah, anyone know what I should take with me? I know this isn't aqua, but it's kinda earth shattering to me, more so to my friends and family who are going beserk.

  12. How could you miss it? Think of the last coupla months!
  13. Hi, I'm looking for pngs (and/or icons) of the older purple gradient folder icons and anything else that may have been included in those sets from the Classic Macintosh sets... might anyone know where I could get these? I know I saw them in a screen shot within the last two months, but a search like that would take forever, and as I don't know the technical term it'd be quite hard to find them just on Google. I'll keep looking, but any and all help would be appreciated... bad example here, and here. I could've sworn that I'd seen an updated version of these, but for the time being that's all I could find right now. Thanks! Ian R. Keeler
  14. smoke, I was kidding, come on man!
