Ah yes. Thanks for looking out for me. No sarcasm here.
Btw, that Airport Express looks more and more inviting as each day passes by. Its Digital Optical Output for Airtunes is simply amazing. It could cost me 4.5k if bought from Canada which is not that bad. Should I go for it? I just hope it doesn't update very soon... everything seems to be going 'n'....

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
I m calling in sick these days so continue without me. C ya all after many days, maybe after admission or job
Goobi thanx for the screen lock app. Keychain "Lock screen" starts a screensaver & then locks which I don't like.

I have already posted long back the best way to watch TV on Mac by Pinnacle Solutions
This flaw just in...Don't know whether this is due to the reason I removed support for Hindi from Mac OS via monolingual or XSlimmer, but Orkut isn't showing Hindi fonts when used on Mac OS X

Thats because the Windows way is better here. In Windows Vista when I lock the user, I get login screen back. Now I can leave the computer on & go to do my work while my sister can come & "switch user" to run her own user & work. My user continues to download or render while my sister can work on her orkut account fine. Maybe this is how it also happens in case of Mac os X with multiple user accounts.

One more thing....how do I stop the Mac OS X from checking or accessing internet at all?
In Windows, I can use Windows Firewall to block all apps other then say WMP to show me a streaming video. So now only WMP can connect to Internet & nothing else & all bandwidth goes to WMP. How do I do this in Mac OS X?

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
I can do that here in Leopard but I am not quite so sure about Tiger. One thing you can do is download and use Little Snitch, which is free.
You removed the hindi fonts and it is now not showing them. WOW! What a terrible terrible flaw!! In other news, I just ate the apple in my refrigerator and surprise, it is not there in the fridge anymore.
As for that lock thing. You click on that lock in the menu bar and select the option "Lock Screen". It starts the screen saver. Move the mouse and you are shown the login screen. Just hit the "Switch User..." button if you want to.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Tried that, not the same thing, will check the next time i boot in Mac OS.
I already acknowledged the mistake. I reinstalled the fonts using Pacifists & can read orkut now.
Switch user? Let me see then.

Unless Windows shows you pictures of little flowers and candies alongside the options, I don't think there's much difference between the two.

What, may I know, was the need of mentioning it in the first place?gx_saurav said:
If you have more than one user, that is. Mac OS X is not stupid, unlike Windows Vista, and does not show you the "Switch User..." option when it is not required, i.e. when you only have a single user setup.gx_saurav said:

Here is some news. I am so proud of this switcher. He is the one and only...Alex..the lion!
(Don't read if you have important things to do)
The story goes like this. He asked me what laptop he should get. I told him Apple is all that makes sense to me. Beyond that its all the same garbage. Anyway, he tells someone to buy a laptop from dubai and got it for 50k, HP branded. Was all jumping around with it and its 'configuration'.
He never got to using the laptop cause it was too heavy and it was also sluggish for the configuration. Then my other friend bought a macbook on my recommendation. Loved it. Roamed with it everywhere. Did all kinds of crazy things like keynote presentations that blew the audience away in college. After two months Axel comes and says "I should have listened to you. Even though I got my laptop for cheaper with a bigger display, these macs are amazing. I thought Vista was going to be better than Mac OS, but its really crappy and slow. I'm selling my laptop and buying a macbook/MBP..."
FYI, the laptop is for sale: 48k (prestine condition... NOT USED AT ALL)

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Hmm... I've always used the Command + Shift + ] combination to shift between tabs in Safari. Today I was fiddling with the keyboard shortcuts which I've never fiddled with. Easy does it. Just enter the EXACT NAME of the item in any menu bar and give it a shortcut. Pretty neat...
