OS X 10.3 boot screen?...


Recommended Posts

It looks like this, but full screen ;)

It is shown at whatever res your screen is, not 640x480 like windows...

Once that screen is done, it shows a progress bar, and then the login screen or desktop...

I wonder how it can load the drivers up so quickly?

Which reminds me, how can you turn off that little sound that it makes when the Mac boots up? (As like everybody knows, I haven't got a Mac yet. I use my school's ones. The sound will be slightly annoying when I boot it up at 3 in the morning and it wakes the house up)

You really shouldn't turn the boot chime off. The boot sound not only tells you that you've booted the machine properly, but it also tells you if there's a problem at boot time.

I don't see any reason to shut your Mac down every night. Put it to sleep.

Exactly what I was about to say... You mean people actually SHUT DOWN their Macs???? The only time I shut mine down is to swap out my burner for my DVD drive (for some reason, hot swapping them doesn't work, even though it should).

Maybe to save power?

I am sure you could find something to replace all the software you use, np.

But once darwine is working, windows apps will run better on OS X then on windows :p

lol, lets put it this way, with 5 min left on the battery on my ibook g3... in sleep mode it can last monthes!

At 100% my iBook lasts about 2-3 weeks, so you might get a day or 2 out of 5 minutes...

Somehow I doubt that.

Well if done right, they would run very well. We will see, I think windows and almost all related products suck so I dont care either way...

Somehow I doubt that. :rolleyes:

Well, most programs will run better.

The viruses won't be fully functional, though. :whistle:

At last count, I think there were 37 mac viruses. And I think the number affecting OSX were not even in the double digits. This is compared, of course, to the tens of thousands of viruses on the PC... ;)

As for sleeping, it's what I do as well. Keeps my uptime high. I'm on 32 days thus far :)
