I had it hidden in my pocket. Now it's all warm and soft. Want some?

well, i use my dads computer so im not allowed to change the settings or anything (im allowed to use the computer as long as my use isnt visible, so there cant be a ton of windows opening at startup or anything) but my little brother goes through my stuff, playes my games, and delets my homework, and all my stuff is in my folder on the desktop, and id love to be able to leave that there (with out hiding it or making it invisible or anything) and password protect the folder so that anytime you want to open the folder(and anything inside of it) you have to type in the password, and as long as the folder is open you can use anyting inside, but once you close the folder, to get anything inside you have to type in the password. kind of like an email account you dont have set to save your password, any time you want to check your email you have to type in the password, and as long as you leave the window open you can read emails, but if you close it you have to enter the password.

ive put a lot of thought into it , i should write the code for it once i get 1337 enough

iScan, because that's the only peripheral that I need Classic for.

It's called Image Capture, but Apple can't pull drivers out of their asses, you know.

I'm desperate for an updated AppleWorks. Right now it's just so 80s -- the damn thing doesn't even have realtime spell check.

If they give it a whole new version number, they can include a web editor (about time!), new web browser, and maybe some integration with other iApps like iPhoto and iMovie for the ultimate alternative to MS Office. That would kick, man.

Apart from that, I'd like a better way to handle video clips from my digital camera -- I suppose that could be done in iPhoto, but only if it's drastically speeded up. And add scanner support to iPhoto, while you're at it.

Maybe some sound editing inside iMovie.

I wish that Apple (or somebody) would make it be possible to preview a font just by double-clicking on the font name - especially uninstalled fonts. While I like my Mac, I miss this feature from Windows.

OS 9 had that feature. I wish they'd bring it back.

OS 9 still has that feature! I didn't know about it - thanks for the info.

I wish they'd bring it back, too. Does Apple have a feature suggestion page? I looked, but I couldn't find one.

What?!?! They can't?!?!  There goes my number-one MWSF prediction...[/b]

LOL

Now you tell me.

Halo.

OK, so it doesn't exactly fulfill the 'useful' tag, and it's coming out next, wait, this (!) summer, but I've been waiting and waiting for it.

I think a backup program that works like Apples backup but doesnt requite .mac to burn to a cd

SilverKeeper is pretty good.  Just create a 650-700MB disk image and back up to that.  You can then burn the image to a CD.

Actually that has been possible for some time now thanks to the (free) third-party solution known as X Font Info.

After you install it, do the following:

I tried image capture and it apparently only works with cameras (this is with 10.1.5, so maybe the 10.2 version quasi supports scanners).  In any case, iScan is kinda needed for our UMAX scanners.

Count me in to the classic-only scanner club.  (hey!  COSC!  New forum idea!)

Arrh, it's the scanner JUST BELOW the bottom one Microtek will update for OS X.
