How many applications created by Apple do you use?

[ddma]

Since Apple has started to develop many of applictions, how many of them do you use?

[Koelling]

OS and quicktime are it. Most apps fall under the category of "I'd use it if I had a camera/video camera/dvd burner" but some things recently got booted out like iTunes in favor of mpg123.

Oh, I use mail.app which technically is developed and ported from next step but that's just details.

i got my iBook this week, (Cheaply)
(IceBook 500 / 64 / 10 / CDROM)

And, although 64mb is the BARE Bone, firstly i am suprised as to how functional X is, with this! I was impressed to say the Least! I've booted into 9.1, and although Menu's and things maybe quicker, it as a whole works WORSE than X Does, with 64mb!

Anyhow, Back on topic! @ Present, while using a Mac is "new to me" i use:

iTunes 3
Address Book (that Counts, right?)
Mail

Hmmm, what else?! i have to admit, being one of the latest "SWITCHERS", My Dock is over 50% filled with M$ applications!

v.X, IE5, Messenger! < blush >

that reminds me, I should download iPhoto, i've not seen that yet! What else Should i look out For?! i know a few things, but like, iPhoto was one that slipped my Mind!

(Sorry For Going a little off topic!!!)

how did you get OS X to install with 64Mb RAM? I have a friend with the same model as you who has money for either RAM or OS X.

And might I suggest changing your sig to Wahoo ?

Of course I'd suggest the first thing you do is check out browsers. Personally I think IE is the worst alternative. Check out Chimera Navigator, Mozilla, iCab, Opera and OmniWeb

Neyo, how are you liking your new Mac?

hmmm, Well, to be honest, i didn't install it! The Company i bought it from, Won the iBook, in a Contest, but SOLELY use PC's! So the Mac was No good to them, i am not sure whether my bud. of whether X was pre-installed on it, but i know it was plainly X. I had a nightmare, the 1st time i had it, because X.1 CD's were JUST Going "obselete" and at the time, i was on Dialup Too! But Thankfully a kind Member, from this Board, Sent me the Update CD, he had Spare! i still Owe him for that, and REALLY appreciate what he'd done for me!

Anyhow, So i updated to 10.0.4, and then got the 10.1 CD, and updated, once more, and then to 10.1.5, but i never did the intial install! as i said though, i find X, more "complete" even with 64MB RAM, than i do, OS 9!

For example, when i load Flash, on 9, if i close the window, or Switch apps, the Desktop background Often Doesn't redraw, and it basically Looks like a Mess of Colours, somewhat remeniscent of a rainbow! lol, that kind of puts me of using 9!
X however, may not Do such nasty things, but Runs Slow! but under the circumstances, who am i to complain?!


Thanks for the suggestion of Apps to hunt for, it so happens, over my time lingering here, as a black sheep, those Names have become inbedded into my brain, merely i think out of curiousity! And So i had downloaded those already! Although, with 64Mb of RAM, its Still "just a toy" as Such, unless i want to make "tea stops" between Loading applications! (lol, its not that bad, but not as good as it will be with 320Mb i am sure! )

One thing that did bug me, was Internet Sharing! Now i have two XP machines, shared on Twisted Pair Cable, with one machine having an internal aDSL Modem. I've shared the Connection fine, and it works quite well! I configured X, almost identically (all except an notched up IP address), but the Speed seemed Slow! At one time, i never managed 10Kb or greater bandwidth. and i dont know whether there's an issue, due to Low RAM being a Cause?! (sounds unlikely) or Maybe i've Just gotta tinker with some settings somewhat?! The PC to iBook Network connects and runs @ 100Mbs/sec, so thats fine!

(Sorry for "ranting" a little, but i had a "few things" to say! )
