BTW, has anyone else with an apple notebook wished there was a cntrl button on the right side of they keyboard instead of enter so you could right-click easier? Wait, I just had a though, isn't there programs where you can change that stuff around I thought. Or is it built in to OS X???

Yea, I wish so too. I hate using both hands to right click with my trackpad.

o well, i find it funny

just a thought :huh:

Congratulations. A well thought out and intelligent post.

:rolleyes:

Seriously.. its impossible to get on with a standard Apple mouse. I just can't live without right click & scroll wheel.

I *could* use a Logitech optical mouse but Microsoft Optical was what I had spare.

jaged - I am dead serious about that software. I thought it was built into OS X but I could not find it but I know it exists. It basically just replaces any key with any function that you want. I never use that enter button since return does the same thing, So If that could be a right click button it would be awesome.

I saw it in a mag, and since I have like 10 mac magazines laying around here, I need to go find it so it may take a little while. I'll let you know though.

Let us all know man. Actually I remember using a program back in Jaguar that not only had this functionality, but also allowed you to assign a key to hold down so you could use your trackpad to scroll (similar to Pee Cee laptops). Alas, when I started installing Panther betas I got rid of it b/c it no longer worked (and hadn't been updated in over a year). I got it from Versiontracker.

ya check out the link that kairon gave, I just posted it in a new topic and in the newbie guide since it doesn't really pertain to this particular forum. Check out sidetrack, it works very well and you don't even have to hold a key down, it just make the very right side the scrolling option. Very slick.

Saft and uControl seem to be not compatible with jaguar. I had problems with ucontrol anyway so I am not really missing it, just hoping they update it soon and then I will try it out again. I also emailed the makers of saft and they said they are hopefully going to have a panther version out sometime early this week.

I read that the Safari team's next task was to add the open all windows in tabs function.

  • 3 weeks later...

I just got back from a road trip from Vancouver BC to San Francisco CA and decided to finally backup the rest of my stuff and put my PC away in storage. I am only using my Mac now. My desk feels much nicer without the huge monitor on it. Anyway, here it is. The photo's look pretty bad because the fake light of the flash, but you get the idea.

    • New fiscal year, this happens in companies all over.
    • Windows 11 reaches a new all-time high share among gamers by Taras Buria The results of the June 2025 Steam Hardware & Software Survey are now available on the official website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among gamers and the steady decline of Windows 10 ahead of the end of support. Valve reports that in June 2025, the almost-four-year-old Windows 11 holds nearly 60% of all PC users on Steam. It currently has a market share of 59.84%, which is a 1.54-point increase over the May 2025 results. Windows 10 has 35.69% (-1.31 point), and 64-bit Windows 7 nearly went extinct—only 0.09% of all Steam users who participated in the survey reported using the operating system that Microsoft stopped supporting years ago (the latest Steam client also no longer works in Windows 7). With Microsoft offering Windows 10 users free security updates for one more year, the outgoing OS is expected to stick around for a while longer on the gaming market and among regular users as well. Worldwide, Windows 11 has nearly caught up to Windows 10, as StatCounter reported earlier. Overall, 95.67% of the survey participants use Windows on their gaming machines (+0.22 points). Linux is second with 2.57% (-0.12 points), and macOS is third with 1.76% (-0.09 points). On the hardware side, the most popular PC configuration has 16GB of RAM (43.05%), a 6-core CPU (29.50%), an Nvidia RTX 4060 Laptop graphics card (4.79%), 8GB of VRAM (33.92%), and a 1080p monitor (55.54%). In June, the laptop variant of the RTX 4060 became the most popular GPU on Steam, taking over the desktop RTX 3060 with its 4.42% market share. Speaking of GPUs, Nvidia holds an overwhelming 74.07% share, while AMD has 17.68%, and Intel is third with 7.88%. Intel remains the most popular CPU vendor with a 59.29% share, while AMD has 40.71%. You can find more stats on the official Steam Hardware and Software Survey here.
    • Does it mean that the game will have weapons now? If that is the case, I'm interested. Not having weapons does not make any sense, even if it changes the gameplay. In such a hostile environment the first thing anyone would do is get as much weapons as they could.
    • This DDR5-6400 CL36 32GB RGB RAM that supports both AMD and Intel is only $72 by Sayan Sen Recently, we covered several SSD deals, both internal and external. These include the Crucial X9 Pro and X10 Pro, the P310 2280, and the Samsung 990 EVO Plus. Meanwhile if you are looking for RAM to upgrade your desktop PC or build a new one, the PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR5-6400 Kit can be your go-to choice as it is currently just $72 (purchase link down below). In terms of specs, this dual-RAM kit delivers 32GB of total DDR5 capacity (each module is 16GB) running at 3200 Hz to deliver 6400 MT/s (PC5-51200) at 1.4 volts. Pre-programmed Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO memory overclocking preset profiles mean you can fire up the kit to its rated speed with a simple BIOS tweak, rather than having to deal with manual timing adjustments. The CAS latency for this DDR5-6400 kit is 36, which is quite tight for a preset profile. Thermal performance is said to be stellar thanks to the aluminum heat spreader, which should help dissipate heat during extended gaming sessions. Additionally, the heat spreader is also said to feature an "embossed pennant design that enhances the overall look and complements the lighting of other components." Speaking of lighting, the included EPIC-X RGB model features ARGB LEDs diffused through a geometric polymer light pipe and allows syncing via Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, or ASRock Polychrome Sync software. Get the PNY RAM at the link below: PNY XLR8 Gaming Epic-X RGB™ 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 RAM 6400 CL36-48-48-104 Desktop Memory Kit (MD32GK2D5640036XRGB): $72.24 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (MSRP: $109.99) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
