Stickies

I love the make sticky note service, but always have a problem with it. Unless I launch the stickies program in OSX before I use the service, whenever I try to use it the computer uses the stickies program in OS9... ...

Then of course there's the Stickies easter egg where you typed something like "Camel!" in a sticky and if you waited for a few seconds, a picture of a camel would pop up. ...

I agree, you should try to minimize the things that open at startup, especially since there are a lot of things that put things in the Login items without your knowledge (FruitMenu, WindowShade X, etc.). But what is this "classic" you speak of? :D

Some of the major ones that I use or that can be used to make it a very functional workstation. AppleMenuOptions.app : This was developed after RDR2 was released and was included in Mac OS X Server 1.x. It lets you configure the Apple menu in almost any way you like (mine is very much like my Mac OS 9 Apple menu actually). Calculator.app : Doesn't come with the OS, but...

On a whim, I quit Stickies in OS9. ...

Ok The reason I need to find this command is to show customers how solid Mac OS X is as a system. This worked a treat as the desktop would stay up and you would see all the verbose stuff appear in the console for a few secs and then the mac startup screen would appear. At the same time I would have a quicktime demo running and MS Word. My stickies database got...

Yup. Me too.
