Mon - June 12, 2006Importing - Strata UnitsHere's a secret you may have missed: Strata's
internal unit is the point,
which is 1/72 of an inch. This comes from Strata's historical tie-in to desktop publishing applications, specifically Illustrator. Posted at 02:57 PM Read More "British" EnglishI can only assume that since America is the
biggest World Power and that they are going for total world domination, their
corrupted version of English is set as the default on a Mac even after having
installing OSX for the first time and telling it you are British it still uses
"English" (ie American English).
Read on to find out how to fix
it....

Bush's politics, based on fear, so Norton (mess up your computer) Anti virus
want to make money out of your fear that you could get a virus. It's bollocks.
What's depressing is that PC user's paranoia can make a Mac user of many years phone me up and ask what AV software he should get even although he hasn't even seen a virus on a Mac in the last 10 years he has used a Mac! Read on for further ammo to tell those PC users and lacking in confidence Mac users why they don't need AV or Spyware software. -------------------------•••--------- Update----------•••------------------------------ Having just said all that I've just heard about a Trojan Horse called Leap-A that only works with Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) more info here Does this mean Macs are getting more popular?

Posted at 09:47 AM Read More Retrospect is it useable?Since moving from OS 9 to OS X Retrospect has
been having problems. Where you could with OS 9 erase and restore an entire hard
disk and have it running and recognising it's System folder with no worries at
all, with the OS X version I wouldn't attempt it as I can't even get it to
restore a simple application let alone the system
folder.
With the latest update for OS X 10.4.1 Retrospect seems to be having a problem with Spotlight files which for some reason when Retrospect tries to back them up it crashes Retrospect. It is possible to filter these files out see Retrospect KB but even so it still isn't doing "what it says on the box" which is being a dependable backup system.

Over
and over I have heard people say that you just use the usual configure, make,
make install sequence to get a program running. Unfortunately, most people using
computers today have never used a compiler or written a line of program code.
With the advent of graphical user interfaces and applications builders, there
are lots of serious programmers who have never done
this.

gasket in an automobile engine; would a casual driver ever do that or be forced
to? No. You move the levers, press the pedals and go - that's about as much
complexity as most of us need. However, it *is useful* to know what is under
that hood so that you don't pour kerosene in the tank or forget to change the
oil for 3 years, and that's common-sense and maintenance that most of us can
handle for day-to-day operation. And if we don't understand something, we can
ask - like Ross did. (And cars, unlike computers, are truly dangerous things -
data loss is nothing compared to some of those losses... sadly.)

Word of warning from Mike Bombich  Before you get started... Delocalizer has not been tested on Mac OS 10.3. At this time I do not have plans to continue development on DeLocalizer.
