No prob.
See "Mac OS X Panther Killer Tips" by Scott Kelby (see here ). You'll know most of it, but those few things you didn't know make the book worth it. Or at least worth browsing at the bookstore.

I am deeply sorry, I apoligise for my dyslexia and the appaling lazyness I display in failing to run everything I type through a spell check.

But now I have another problem ... What am I going to use the second screen for now that I don't need a Finder window with the Applications folder there?
Looks like you'll need to buy a new G5 to use that monitor...
Dell Using System 7!
Yes, it's true, Dell have used System 7
In 1998 we bought a Dell, and it came with a service and support brochure, with screenshots of their support website. These screenshots were taken with Internet Explorer, on System 7.

You do realize that while everything is your sentence is spelled correctly, the actual structure of the sentence is a mess. Try instead: I can't believe college students cannot spell basic words correctly.
A message from your friendly neighborhood grammar nazi.
Personally, I wish everyone who posted would just hit Cmd : but oh well.
However, Mat understands grammar:
but his spelling remains flawed at best.MatMistake said:

Hey whocares, where are you in France? I'm going to Europe in the summer and I want to know where I should go.

I'm a designer (some people say I am good) and I like it when my colors get skewed, so I have an Alien vs Predator screen on one machine and Spiderman 2 on my primary color correction monitor.
BTW, you guys have me in tears laughing at this thread. My coworkers keep asking me what I am chuckling about when I guess I should be getting some work done. Oh, research, I tell 'em.

wait a minute, how did you know they were going to say on the 5 o'clock news?
imitation is coping, emulation is getting the feel of it.
I saw a Gateway ad in PC Magazine once where a smiling twentysomething was sitting cross-legged on the floor with a TiBook in his lap. It was unmistakably an Apple. Gateway had just come out with a bronzy metallic finish notebook in emulation of Apple's, but the one pictured was the real deal.
Pretty funny.

Jeez, give the guy a break. Perhaps he really is part of a collage, you know, stuck on a wall together with coloured triangular bits of paper, and perhaps he's hung in the computer department.
What I can't believe is how many people write 'then' when they should write 'than'. That really gets on my tits.

many companies do. apple is the company hardcore pc users/makers love to hate. I would say that alienware is the only pc company that comes close to apple in style.
blue&whiteman said:
Alienware? I'd have to disagree with you on that one. Alienware may have a "unique" sense of style, but its motif is too over-the-top. Apple's is simple, elegant, and rather minimalist, especially the new aluminum scheme. I'd say that Voodoo or Falcon Northwest come closest to Apple's styling.
P.S. - Spelling is a big pet peeve of mine. Seriously, I just don't understand the difficulty in typing the correct sequence of keys, when you've only got a total of about 40-50 to contend with. Then again, I think not having punctuation or decent grammar is just idiotic, but that's me.

Maybe you like to consider that some of the people on this board (like me) don't speak English natively. Although some might make language mistakes out of sloppiness, calling them idiots is going a bit far. You might like to try communicating with other people in a for you not native language yourself to see what I mean. Maybe you like to try my native language sometime (Dutch):
Dan zul je zien dat het nog niet meevalt om alle woorden correct te spellen!

people who can not cope with mine or others incorrect spelling is a pet peeve of mine...
I don't understand the difficulty of reading a word that has one, maby 2, letters misplaced or incorrect. Infact studys have shown that if you get the first and last letters of a word right, you can put the rest of the letters in that word in a totally random order and it is still understandable.
I think its an awful attuide to look down on people who have difficulty with spelling. learning difficultys such as dyslexia often go hand in hand with creativity and intelligence. Shakespeare couldn't spell at all, Warhol was an awful writer, and in my art class the percentage of people with dyslexia jumps from a few % in the normal population to around 50%!
oh, and a standard keybord has 101 keys
