Hey, if Apple did it, it must be there for a purpose. I think it looks awesome!

 

[iMav]

[goobimama]

I'd just change my name to Goomimama and it will all be settled!

Is there anything stronger than force quit? Preview is stuck and not even force quit will get rid of it.

Force Quit from the Activity Monitor? I've never seen Force Quit not work though.

 

[aryayush]

I’ve never even seen Preview get stuck, for that matter.

 

[goobimama]

killall <nameofapp>

Nice tip! I've so far used it only for the Dock, but I guess it'll work with other apps as well (UNIX geek that you are).

 

[Faun]

^^there are actually two variants of this command, default does a polite way

killall <appname>

or

killall -9 <appname>

and there is nasty kill

killall -15 <appname>

or

killall -SIGKILL <appname>

There are many good things, anytime you want to know just open a beginners in unix
I'm not a geek, there are other worthy of than in this forum

After a lot of analysis and discussion with friends, I decided to go for a mac mini (which is the only affordable mac for me). Do you (all mac gurus out here) mind me posting my questions here ? Or need to start a new thread ? Please let me know and I will do accordingly.

Basic question : From where to buy ? Here in Cochin there is an Authorised Apple Reseller but they told me it will take a minimum of six weeks to get a mac mini (after we order). Is this same in all other places ?

Question two : The basic one (combo drive one) will be ok for my needs ? I will list the main softwares I use so that you can comment on (I meant to ask whether 1 GB RAM is ok for it to run all these softwares). Please note that I may switch to alternative softwares (example : Thunderbird) of Mac in future but for the time being I need to use these.

Dreamweaver CS3, Firefox, ThunderBird, Filezilla, (I know all these has mac versions and most has portable mac versions (*www.freesmug.org/portableapps/)as well) Instant messenger clients (yahoo, msn, google talk, skype etc), XAMPP (This is for running Apache + PHP + Mysql (they have a beta version for mac ( *www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html ).

1 GB RAM is ok ? If I need 2 GB, can I order it while buying ? I mean will they customize it ?

I will post more questions soon.
