Opera's good, although I'm using 10.63 as I wasn't happy with the later versions. The trouble with Opera is they get something right then when they update they break it again.

I haven't Lion'd yet but this iMac has purred perfectly from day 1 (over a year now), the optical died but Apple sorted that within 6 days.
The older I get, the more reserved I'm becoming...
I don't feel the need for the latest 'this that and the other'. It feckin' works at lightnin' speed, why would I break it with a 'new improved'? There were several new 'bells & whistles' in Leopard that I still haven't fannied with, why should I go further when I'm so happy with what I have? You gotta remember I'm from the ground floor - 1985 and 3 designers on wee Mac Pluses sharing a 20 Megabyte Hard Drive!!!!!!!!
Holy Shit! this is ace
It'll break my beloved FreeHand too, so I'm not having that!

One of my favourite origami books (published 1995) has this on the copyright page:
I does like my Linux these days, but a Mac just cannot be beaten for design work.
(my emphasis)Software: Aldus Freehand 3.1, Color-It 2.3 and proprietary PostScript extensions
Hardware: Macintosh SE + Novy Quik30 Accelerator, Macintosh Quadra 700

Might sound obvious, but have you checked your sound settings? Vox normally comes through the centre channel, if your setup is off then you'll get the problem you're having. I used to have the same issue.

it wasn't that but you pointed me in a direction I wouldn't have thought of. It appears to be the 6CH Aud that was causing the problem. After some geeking around, it appears if I 'enable stream processing' I can then turn Aud options / subtitles on/off - and I can now watch The Empire Strikes back on my Cowon - result Posted: 25 Aug 2011, 07:59

AAAAAAANYway...
Me Currently Geeking:
I have purchased myself a Zotac Zbox (320 GB HD not 250 as it says there... even though I only ordered 250GB
) and have installed XBMC live on it. (Basically a stripped-down Ubuntu running very little other than XBMC itself.)
It's very shiny indeed and a lot better than the reclaimed machine that had been acting as the HTPC: more HD space, a hell of a lot quieter, and a lot less intrusive (18cm x 18cm x 5 cm approx). The old HTPC is going to be relegated to the basement to act as a file-server.
It has actually required very little geeking to set up:

It has actually required very little geeking to set up:
- Created bootable USB stick (The Zbox has no optical drive)
- Chose my own partition layout (256MB swap, 4GB / the rest /home) as opposed to the defaults suggested (6GB swap? wtf?)
- Set up auto-login so I don't need the keyboard plugged in when I power the machine up. This was a bit tricky, there's no GDM -- or graphical login manager of any kind -- but I got it working.
- Got shutdown to work from within XBMC with the IR remote.

Bought AutoSampler yesterday and now I am able to turn every hardware synth into a softsynth you can use in Reason, Kontakt or ESX format!
My aulde Roland XP50 can finally enjoy his retirement in my studio now, no more road-trips for the old box!
This works a treat, just plug in the outputs and one MIDI cable and that's it!

i am blumming cross. i've been playing on a test site on own server, found a most lovely theme, set it to what i wanted. came to transfer the real site across, activated same theme, looking lovely, but.. hang on. the widget sidebar isn't the same, it should have two colums. hmmm. switched themes and back again. hmm. reinstalled theme from wp and then from the developer - they are NOT THE SAME. the appearance options have disappeared. why on earth should that be? there's been no theme update. background different. now i've not got what i want and it's going to take foreever to find a new one.
Posted: 25 Oct 2011, 11:58
i've now found the version i want... on wordpress.com. so why exactly was i able to use it on wordpress.org until this morning?
